Sura XCIX (99)

The Earthquake

(Mecca -- 8 Verses)

________________________________________

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

When the Earth with her quaking shall quake

And the Earth shall cast forth her burdens,

And man shall say, What aileth her?

On that day shall she tell out her tidings,

Because thy Lord shall have inspired her.

On that day shall men come forward in throngs to behold their works,

And whosoever shall have wrought an atom's weight of good shall behold it.

And whosoever shall have wrought an atom's weight of evil shall behold it.
