Surah The earthquake [Al-Zalzala] Ayah 8 Location Madanah Number 99

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ﴿١﴾

WHEN THE WORLD is shaken up by its cataclysm,

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا ﴿٢﴾

And the earth throws out its burdens,

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا ﴿٣﴾

And man enquires: \"What has come over it?\"

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا ﴿٤﴾

That day it will narrate its annals,

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا ﴿٥﴾

For your Lord will have commanded it.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًۭا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ ﴿٦﴾

That day people will proceed separately to be shown their deeds.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًۭا يَرَهُۥ ﴿٧﴾

Whosoever has done even an atom's weight of good will behold it;

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۢ شَرًّۭا يَرَهُۥ ﴿٨﴾

And whosoever has done even an atom's weight of evil will behold that.
