The Qur'an (Palmer)/Zalzala

THE CHAPTER OF THE EARTHQUAKE.

(XCIX. Place of origin doubtful.)

In the name of the merciful and compassionate God.

When the earth shall quake with its quaking !

And the earth shall bring forth her burdens, and man shall say, ‘What ails her!’

On that day she shall tell her tidings, [5] because thy Lord inspires her.

On the day when men shall come up in separate bands to show their works : and he who does the weight of an atom of good shall see it ! and he who does the weight of an atom of evil shall see it !
