The Earthquake
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake
وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
And the earth discharges its burdens
وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا
And man says, "What is [wrong] with it?" -
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا
That Day, it will report its news
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا
Because your Lord has inspired [i.e., commanded] it.
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ
That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ
So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it,
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُۥ
And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
