The Earthquake8 verses Medinan

Translated by Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا

When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake

2

وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

And Earth yieldeth up her burdens,

3

وَقَالَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا لَهَا

And man saith: What aileth her?

4

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا

That day she will relate her chronicles,

5

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا

Because thy Lord inspireth her.

6

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ

That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds.

7

فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ

And whoso doeth good an atom's weight will see it then,

8

وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ

And whoso doeth ill an atom's weight will see it then.
