Az-Zalzala

When the earth is shaken violently in its [last] quaking,

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا

idhā zul'zilati l-arḍu zil'zālahā

when the earth throws out its burdens,

وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

wa-akhrajati l-arḍu athqālahā

when man cries, ‘What is happening to it?’;

وَقَالَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا لَهَا

waqāla l-insānu mā lahā

on that Day, it will tell all

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا

yawma-idhin tuḥaddithu akhbārahā

because your Lord will inspire it [to do so].

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا

bi-anna rabbaka awḥā lahā

On that Day, people will come forward in separate groups to be shown their deeds:

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ

yawma-idhin yaṣduru l-nāsu ashtātan liyuraw aʿmālahum

whoever has done an atom’s-weight of good will see it,

فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ

faman yaʿmal mith'qāla dharratin khayran yarahu

but whoever has done an atom’s-weight of evil will see that.

وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ

waman yaʿmal mith'qāla dharratin sharran yarahu
