(99:1) When a violent shaking spreads all over the planet,
(99:2) and the ground throws out all of the dead within it,
(99:3) and mankind asks “What is going on with it?”
(99:4) On that day, the earth will speak and you will hear it.
(99:5) It will speak because I command it to testify as a witness to your behavior.
(99:6) On that day, people will come split into groups to be shown the fruits of their labor.
(99:7) Then, whoever did the smallest act of good will see it
(99:8) and whoever did the smallest act of harm will see it.
CHAPTER NOTES:
Verse 7&8: These verses can be literally translated, “Whoever does the weight of a speck of dust of good will see it and whoever does the weight of a speck of dust of bad will see it.” The message from these verses is that a good deed, no matter how small, will be rewarded, and that small sins, like white lies and insults, add up and are accounted for on the Day of Judgment.
