4.02. THE CONVULSION (AL-ZALZALAH)

Ninety-ninth Surah


IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE EVER GRACEFUL, THE MOST GRACIOUS:

God says

When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion, (1)
and [when] the earth throws up her burdens (from within) (2)
and man cries out (in distress): ‘what has happened to her?’-- (3)
on that Day will she declare all her tidings: (4)
as thy Sustainer will have inspired her to do. ( 5)
On that day all men will proceed, cut off from one another,
to be shown their [past] deeds. (6)
Then, he who shall have done an atom’s weight of good, shall behold it; (7)
and he who shall have done an atom’s weight of evil, shall behold it. (8)
