إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ﴿١﴾

When the earth is rocked with a terrible quake

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا ﴿٢﴾

and discharges its burdens,

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا ﴿٣﴾

and man says, ‘What is the matter with her?’

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا ﴿٤﴾

On that day she will relate her chronicles

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا ﴿٥﴾

for her Lord will have inspired her.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًۭا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ ﴿٦﴾

On that day, mankind will issue forth in various groups to be shown their deeds.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًۭا يَرَهُۥ ﴿٧﴾

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it,

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۢ شَرًّۭا يَرَهُۥ ﴿٨﴾

and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.
