		IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE:
Earth will report whatever happened on her and men shall be shown their Books of Deeds	1	WHEN THE EARTH quakes with her [last] mighty quaking,
	2	and [when] the earth yields up her burdens,1
	3	and man cries out, "What has happened to her?"
	4	on that Day will she recount all her tidings,
	5	as thy Sustainer will have inspired her to do.2
	6	On that Day will all men come forward, cut off from one another,3 to be shown their [past] deeds.
	7	And so, he who shall have done an atom's weight of good, shall behold it;
	8	and he who shall have done an atom's weight of evil, shall behold it.
