When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking, and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its contents, and humanity cries, “What is wrong with it?”— on that Day the earth will recount everything, having been inspired by your Lord ˹to do so˺. On that Day people will proceed in separate groups to be shown ˹the consequences of˺ their deeds. So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it. Quran 99:1~8 [Surah Az Zilzal (the Earthquake, The Shaking)]
Al-Zalzalah (Arabic: الزلزلة, al-zalzalah, meaning: “The Quake”) is the 99th chapter (surah) of the Qur’an,

إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ یَصۡدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشۡتَاتࣰا لِّیُرَوۡا۟ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ فَمَن یَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَیۡرࣰا یَرَهُۥ وَمَن یَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةࣲ شَرࣰّا یَرَهُۥ
It takes its name after the first Ayat,
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
“When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake.” [99:1]
جب زمین بھونچال سے ہلا دی جائے گی اور زمین اپنے (اندر) کے بوجھ نکال ڈالے گی اور انسان کہے گا کہ اس کو کیا ہوا ہے؟ اس روز وہ اپنے حالات بیان کردے گی کیونکہ تمہارے پروردگار نے اس کو حکم بھیجا (ہوگا) اس دن لوگ گروہ گروہ ہو کر آئیں گے تاکہ ان کو ان کے اعمال دکھا دیئے جائیں تو جس نے ذرہ بھر نیکی کی ہو گی وہ اس کو دیکھ لے گا اور جس نے ذرہ بھر برائی کی ہوگی وہ اسے دیکھ لے گا
Its theme is the second life after death and presentation in it, before man, of the full record of the deeds done by him in the world.
In the first three sentences it has been told briefly how the second life after death will take place and how confounding it will be for man.
In the next two sentences it has been said that this very earth on which man has lived and performed all kinds of deeds thoughtlessly, and about which he never could fancy that this lifeless thing would at some time in the future bear witness to his deeds, will speak out on that Day by God’s command and will state in respect of each individual person what act he had committed at a particular time and place.
Then, it has been said that men on that Day, rising from their graves, will come out in their varied groups from all corners of the earth, to be shown their deeds and works, and their presentation of the deeds will be so complete and detailed that not an atom’s weight of any good or evil act will be left unnoticed or hidden from his eyes.
