Damage to the balance on the Day of Judgment

وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِٱلْغَمَٰمِ وَنُزِّلَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا

The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and angels shall be sent down, descending (in ranks),-

وَتَرَى ٱلْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةًۭ وَهِىَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِ ۚ صُنْعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ

Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away: (such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted with all that ye do.

يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِرَاعًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشْرٌ عَلَيْنَا يَسِيرٌۭ

The Day when the Earth will be rent asunder, from (men) hurrying out: that will be a gathering together,- quite easy for Us.

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًۭا

On the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًۭا

And the mountains will fly hither and thither.

فَإِذَا ٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ وَرْدَةًۭ كَٱلدِّهَانِ

When the sky is rent asunder, and it becomes red like ointment:

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّۭا

When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّۭا

And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءًۭ مُّنۢبَثًّۭا

Becoming dust scattered abroad,

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ

And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ

And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ

The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ

And the mountains will be like wool,

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

And the sun and moon are joined together,-

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ

When the heaven is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا

And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

Followed by oft-repeated (commotions):

إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ

When the stars fall, losing their lustre;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

When the oceans boil over with a swell;

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ

When the world on High is unveiled;

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ

When the Sky is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ

When the Stars are scattered;

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ

When the sky is rent asunder,

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth is flattened out,

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا

Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا

When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion,

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

And the earth throws up her burdens (from within),

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

And the mountains will be like carded wool.
