إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
When the earth is shaken with a mighty quake,
The Quake · az-Zalzalah · سورة الزلزلة · 8 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
and the earth throws out its burdens,
وَقَالَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا لَهَا
and man says, “What is the matter with it?”
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا
On that Day it will recount all its news,
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا
because your Lord has inspired it [to do so].
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ
On that Day all people will come forward in separate groups to be shown their deeds.
فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ
So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it,
وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ
and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.
