Surah Zilzal in arabic

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا
وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا
وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا
يَوۡمَئِذٖ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا
يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَصۡدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشۡتَاتٗا لِّيُرَوۡاْ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ
فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرٗا يَرَهُۥ
وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖ شَرّٗا يَرَهُۥ

Surah zilzal translation

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking,

and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its burden,1

and man cries, “What is wrong with it?”—

on that Day the earth will recount everything,

having been inspired by your God ˹to do so˺.

On that Day men will proceed in separate groups1 to be shown ˹the consequences of˺ their deeds.

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.

And anyone, who does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.

According to Tafsir Noor on Surah Al-Zalzalah, the structure deep within the Earth has rendered our planet prone to frequent earthquakes. Nevertheless, the presence of mountains has transformed the Earth into a nurturing environment essential for human life.

خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ وَأَلْقَىٰ فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ ۚ

”He created the heavens without any pillars that you may see, and cast firm mountains in the earth lest it should shake with you, and He has scattered in it every kind of animal”. 5

Rewards and Benefits of Recitation of Surat Zilzal

following are benefits and rewards of sura zilzal

Reflections on Accountability and Ethical Conduct: Surah Zilzal serves as a stark reminder of the accountability each person will face for their actions. Moreover, the Quran (99:7-8) underscores that every action, regardless of its size, will undergo careful examination, thereby urging individuals to diligently strive for righteousness and ethical conduct.

According to a narration attributed to Imam Sadiq, reciting Surah Al-Zalzalah in one’s recommended prayers protects one from the harms of earthquakes, lightning, and other worldly dangers. Upon passing away, God escorts such a person to paradise and invites them to choose their desired abode, saying, “My servant, select any place you wish.”
