Surah Az-Zalzalah
Surah 99 · The Earthquake · 8 verses · medinan
The Earthquake — az-Zalzalah, the shaking of the earth at the end.
The story
Nothing you do is too small for Allah to see — not the tiniest good thing, and not the tiniest bad thing. Even the ground you walk on remembers what happened on it.
How it unfolds
AYAH 1-5
The earth speaks
The final quake, the burdens thrown out, and the ground reporting what it saw.
AYAH 6-8
An atom's weight
Deeds shown in scattered groups, down to the smallest measure.
Verses to carry
- 99:7"Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it."
- 99:8"And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it."
- 99:4"That Day, it will report its news." The earth as witness.
Remember this
A tiny good deed still counts. Picking up one piece of litter counts.
Talk about it
What is the smallest good thing you could do right now?
