The Qur’an For All Humanity
An Earthquake
~ 98 ~
AN EARTHQUAKE
When the earth is rocked in her last convulsion;
when the earth shakes off its burdens and man asks
‘What may this mean?’ -on that day it will
proclaim its tidings, for your Lord will have
inspired it.
On that day mankind will come in scattered
groups to be shown their labours. Whoever does an
atom’s weight of good shall see it, and whoever
does an atom’s weight of evil shall see it also.
(The Qur’an 99:1-8)
The earthquake on Doomsday will be a
proclamation of the termination of the period of
trial. This will mean that the freedom which people
had been allotted for the purpose of their, being
tested has been taken away from them. Then the
time will have come for people to receive their just
deserts. Today the world of God appears to be
silent. But when circumstances change, everything
will be given the power of speech. Present day
inventions and discoveries have proved that even
lifeless objects have the power of “speech.” Studio
