إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا
When the Earth shakes with its ultimate seismic vibrations,
Madinan · 8 ayat · 93rd in order of revelation
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا
When the Earth shakes with its ultimate seismic vibrations,
وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا
And [when] it pours forth its [consequential] loads,
وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا
And the social being utters impulsively, “What has happened to it [the earth]?” —
يَوۡمَئِذٖ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا
On that Day, it [the earth] will inform of [all human] activity performed on it,
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا
Because your Sustainer would have inspired it to do so.
يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَصۡدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشۡتَاتٗا لِّيُرَوۡاْ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
On that Day all people will come forward, cut off from one another, to be shown their [worldly] efforts.
فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرٗا يَرَهُۥ
And so, anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good shall behold it;
وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖ شَرّٗا يَرَهُۥ
And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall behold it.
