Surah Az-Zalzala

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا

When the earth is shaken with her (violent) shaking,

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

And the earth brings forth her burdens,

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا

And man says: What has befallen her?

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا

On that day she shall tell her news,

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا

Because your Lord had inspired her.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ

On that day men shall come forth in sundry bodies that they may be shown their works.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ

So. he who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ

And he who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.
