099 - Sūrat az-Zilzāl/az-Zalzalah

In the name of Allah (who is) Rahmān (and) Rahīm.

[For explanation, see Sūrat al-Fātiha: 1]

1

When earth is shaken, [when] it is rocked for the rising of the Hour, with its [final] quake, with its most violent rocking, one that befits its magnitude,

2

and the earth brings forth its burdens, its hidden treasures and its dead, casting them onto its surface,

3

and man, the disbeliever in resurrection, says, 'What is wrong with it?' - in denial of that situation.

4

On that day (yawma'idhin substitutes for, and is the response to, idhā, 'when') it shall relate its chronicles, it shall inform of the good and evil deeds committed in it,

5

for its Rabb will have inspired it, that is, He will have commanded her to [do] this - in a hadīth [it is stated], 'It [the earth] shall testify to every single deed committed by every servant and handmaiden upon its surface'.

6

On that day mankind shall issue forth, they will depart from the site of the Reckoning, in separate groups, divided up, so that those taking it [their book] by the right hand will go to Paradise, while those taking it by the left hand will go to the Fire, to be shown their deeds, that is, the requital for them, in [either] Paradise or the Fire.

7

So whoever does an atom's weight of good shall see it: he shall see its reward,

8

and whoever does an atom's weight of evil shall see it: he shall see its requital.
