The Earthquake
Full recitation: Mishary Rashid Alafasy
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
When the earth is shaken with a mighty quake,
وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
and the earth throws out its burdens[1],
[1] i.e., its dead bodies and treasures.
وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا
and man says[1], “What is the matter with it?”
[1] In terror and astonishment.
يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا
On that Day it will recount all its news,
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا
because your Lord has inspired it [to do so].
يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًۭا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ
On that Day all people will come forward in separate groups to be shown their deeds[1].
[1] From the place of Judgment to see the consequences of their deeds, whether to Paradise or to Hell.
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًۭا يَرَهُۥ
So whoever does an atom’s weight[1] of good will see it,
[1] Or a small ant’s weight.
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍۢ شَرًّۭا يَرَهُۥ
and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.
