In the Name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

1. When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake 2. And the earth discharges its burdens 3. And man says, "What is [wrong] with it?" - 4. That Day, it will report its news 5. Because your Lord has commanded it. 6. That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds. 7. So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, 8. And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
