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.

Al-Baiyinah

(1)Those who disbelieve from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and among Al-Mushrikûn,[] were not going to leave (their disbelief) until there came to them clear evidence.

(2)A Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from Allâh, reciting (the Qur'ân) purified pages [purified from Al-Bâtil (falsehood, etc.)].

(3)Containing correct and straight laws from Allâh.

(4)And the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) differed not until after there came to them clear evidence. (i.e. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and whatever was revealed to him).

(5)And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât: and that is the right religion.

(6)Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur'ân and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.[]

(7)Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of Allâh, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) including all obligations ordered by Islâm] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures.

(8)Their reward with their Lord is 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity), underneath which rivers flow, they will abide therein forever, Allâh Well-Pleased with them, and they with Him. That is for him who fears his Lord.
