إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا ١
When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake
When the earth will be shaken vigorously, which will happen to it on the Day of Judgement.
And the earth will remove everything from within itself, i.e. the dead and other things.
And the human will say, confused: “What is the matter with the earth, that it is moving and shaking?”
On that great day, the earth will inform regarding the good and evil deeds that were committed upon it.
Because Allah will have taught it and commanded it to do so.
