Text: Chapter 99: Az-Zalzalah (The 'Ultimate' Quake)

99:1

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا

When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking,

99:2

وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its contents,¹

99:3

وَقَالَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا لَهَا

and humanity cries, “What is wrong with it?”—

99:4

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا

on that Day the earth will recount everything,

99:5

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا

having been inspired by your Lord ˹to do so˺.

99:6

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ

On that Day people will proceed in separate groups¹ to be shown ˹the consequences of˺ their deeds.

99:7

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ

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

99:8

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ

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