Al-'Adiyât

(1)By the (steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

(2)Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves),

(3)And scouring to the raid at dawn

(4)And raise the dust in clouds the while,

(5)Penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe);

(6)Verily! Man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord;

(7)And to that fact he bears witness (by his deeds);

(8)And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth.

(9)Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are brought out and poured forth (all mankind is resurrected).

(10)And that which is in the breasts (of men) shall be made known.

(11)Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds), (and will reward them for their deeds).

Az-Zalzalah

(1)When the earth is shaken with its (final) earthquake.

(2)And when the earth throws out its burdens,

(3)And man will say: "What is the matter with it?"

(4)That Day it will declare its information (about all what happened over it of good or evil).

(5)Because your Lord has inspired it.

(6)That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their deeds.[]

(7)So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.

(8)And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.
