99:3

وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا ٣

when man cries, ‘What is happening to it?’;

99:4

يَوۡمَئِذٖ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا ٤

on that Day, it will tell all

99:5

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا ٥

because your Lord will inspire it [to do so].

فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرٗا يَرَهُۥ ٧

whoever has done an atom’s-weight of good will see it,

99:8

وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٖ شَرّٗا يَرَهُۥ ٨

but whoever has done an atom’s-weight of evil will see that.
