99. Az-Zalzalah (The Earthquake): 11-5
When the earth is shaken violently in its [last] quaking, when the earth throws out its burdens, when man cries, ‘What is happening to it?’; on that Day, it will tell all because your Lord will inspire it [to do so]. (Abdul Haleem)
When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake And the earth discharges its burdens And man says, "What is [wrong] with it?" - That Day, it will report its news Because your Lord has inspired [i.e., commanded] it. (Saheeh International)
When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion, And the earth throws up her burdens (from within), And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with her?'- On that Day will she declare her tidings: For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration. (Yusuf Ali)
WHEN THE EARTH quakes with her [last] mighty quaking, and [when] the earth yields up her burdens, and man cries out, "What has happened to her?" - on that Day will she recount all her tidings, as thy Sustainer will have inspired her to do! (Muhammad Asad)
When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking, and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its contents, and humanity cries, “What is wrong with it?”— on that Day the earth will recount everything, having been inspired by your Lord ˹to do so˺. (Mustafa Khattab)
WHEN THE WORLD is shaken up by its cataclysm, And the earth throws out its burdens, And man enquires: "What has come over it?" That day it will narrate its annals, For your Lord will have commanded it. (Ahmed Ali)
When the earth is shaken with her mighty quaking. [A mighty Revolution will overtake the world] And the earth yields up her burdens. [Archaeology and mining will make long strides. Tyrants will be thrown out of power] And mankind cries out, 'What has happened to her?' [People will be stunned at the speed of unfolding events] At that time she will relate her stories. [The history of revolutions will repeat itself on a massive scale] Your Lord will have sent His command to her. [Progressive unfolding of the Divine decree] (Shabbir Ahmed)
