Surah 99. Al-Zalzalah, Ayah 1
| إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا |
| Transliteration | : | 'idhaa zulzilat al- 'ard. zilzaal -haa |
| Pickthall | : | When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake |
| Asad | : | WHEN THE EARTH quakes with her [last] mighty quaking, |
| Malik | : | When the earth will be shaken to her utmost convulsion, |
| Yusuf Ali | : | When the Earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion 6235 |
Note - 6235To the ordinary human observer a violent earthquake is a
terrifying phenomenon, in its suddenness, in its origin,
and in its power to destroy and uproot the strongest
buildings and to bring up strange materials from the
bowels of the earth. The Overwhelming Event (S.
lxxxviii.) which ushers in the Judgment will be a bigger
and more far-reaching convulsion than any earthquakes
that we know. And yet the incidents of earthquakes may
give us some idea of that supreme world-shaking Event.
