Bismi Allahi alrrahmanialrraheemi
“Itha zulzilati al-ardu zilzalaha
Waakhrajati al-ardu athqalaha
Waqala al-insanu ma laha
Yawma-ithin tuhaddithu akhbaraha
Bi-anna rabbaka awha laha
Yawma-ithin yasduru alnnasuashtatan liyuraw aAAmalahum
Faman yaAAmal mithqala tharratin khayran yarahu
Waman yaAAmal mithqala tharratin sharran yarahu”
“In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.In the name of Allah, the When the earth is shaken with its (final) earthquake. And when the earth throws out its burdens, And man will say: “What is the matter with it?” That Day it will declare its information (about all what happened over it of good or evil). Because your Lord has inspired it. That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their deeds. So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.” (Quran 99:1-8)
Explanation: Surah zalzalah refers to the tremendous convulsion and uprooting which will take place on the Day of Judgement when the earth will be shaken to the extent of its possibility, the present order of the world will be dissolved and the new spiritual world the truth and justice will take its place.
The symbol used here is that of an earthquake which is a terrifying phenomenon in its suddenness and its power to destroy and uproot the strongest buildings. The inner levels of the earth are thrown up as if they were a burden to the earth.
A similar statement has also been made
“And when the earth is flattened out, and casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty.”
The surah goes on to mention the confusion and bewilderment of the dead when they will rise to life at the sight of these incidents taking place before them. Elsewhere, the Quran says:
“Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?…” (36:52)
In that great and final convulsion, the dead will rise; matters, motives and deeds, even the most secret ones which had been hidden and buried will be brought to light and justice will be done with absolute Truth. This is because Allah will give the command or direction to the earth to tell the whole story of what it knows.
Human beings will proceed to receive judgement and they will receive their Book of Deeds which will be presented to each man and he will be astonished to see that every big and small matter is mentioned in it. This is also stated
“(It will be said to him) Read thine (own) record; sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee.” (17:14)
The righteous will be rewarded more generously than what they will actually deserve and their minor sins forgiven if they had safeguarded against the major sins. The punishment for the evil deeds of the non-believers will be equal to the deed and no injustice will be done to anybody. The Quran says:
“On the Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done , and all the evil it has done ….”
