This Surah addresses two major themes:
(1)People could not fathom the idea of the world ever coming to an end. It has always been there, its not going anywhere, how will it cease to exist? It is vast, stable, self-sustaining. What will cause it to die?
(2) Shirk is to have an middle person between you and Allah. So long as the in-between person is happy with you, knows you, you don't have to worry about pleasing Allah and obeying Him etc. So we make other people deal with our sins, we ask a third person to make duaa for us, to make istikhara for us, to read Qur'an for us. This is the heart of Christian religion, they are not responsible for their actions, Jesus bears their burdens.
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
The world will end with an earthquake.
زِلْزَالَ - To slip. But because the phenotics are repeating, it means someone who keeps slipping, tripping and do not have stable footing. Its redundant, over and over again. People will not be able to stand, they will be shook.
When the earth is shaken violently, as it was always meant to. This is the beginning of the end.
To remind something to someone that they keep forgetting. It is like saying "and remember when". "When" makes it an absolute reality. Allah didn't say "if the earth shakes" instead Allah says "when it will shake" meaning that is certain. Its only a matter of time.
Allah didn't say that He will shake the earth. Allah says, "when the earth will be shaken". So this means that it will get done, its really easy. Allah doesn't even have to mention His Name, its so easy for Him that it doesn't even deserve a mention that He will do it.
هَا - A unique earthquake cannot even be capture. The earth has has made a promise to Allah that it will shake on that Day and it is fulfilling that promise. In Allah's wisdom and will, the earth was always meant to shake. It is in the earth's destiny. It was created to shake one day. The purpose of something is its end, not the journey. So the earth was never meant to be a place where you live, build a home, enjoy etc. No inch of the earth will be left torn from its place.
زُلْزِلَ - The earthquake will come again and again and again. It is just going to shake so much until there is nothing left.
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
خْرَجَ - To take out. (barrazza means to take out and put right in front for the one to see)(tarada means to push something away when it is not to your liking or up to your class).
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
أَخْبَارَ - The earth is watching and it will give its news of what we did on top it. It got a recorder inside. If we cannot be mindful of Allah because Allah is in the unseen, realize that the earth that you are on is watching u.
The more sins we do, the earth gets loaded with it. Its like you keep stuffing you face, stuffing your face and if you don't stop, you will throw up. The earth gets to vomit and relax from all our sins that was making it heavier. Sometimes the earth burps (minor earthquakes and other natural disasters on a small scale here and there) but total expulsion will be on the Day of Judgment.
Allah says in Surah Rahman that humans and jinns are sathqalaan - two burdens. Am I a burden on the earth?
وَقَالَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا لَهَا
الْإِنسَانُ - This is the biggest collective ever, there will be no place to move your feet but we will feel entirely alone.
It also means that we had forgotten the Day of Judgment. We know it is suppose to shake and this is meant to happen but we forgot.
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا
تُحَدِّثُ - Used to warn something. To make someone aware of something. Very peculiar use of the word in the ayaah.
تُحَدِّثُ - The existence of something that wasn't there before. To tell the audience something that they previously didn't know. Something new. to tell them something that they completely forgot so it feels like new. To speak in a way that the audience missed the previous lecture/episode. It is when the speaker pretends the audience does not know anything. So that is how the earth will speak. The earth will remind them of every last detail, leaving no gaps.
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا
Allah give it permission to speak. Allah wanted this and the earth wanted it.
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ
On that day people will be turned away.
Saadir - someone who left home, got water from the well and came home. Sadar - go and come back.
When the humans beings will come back to the earth (after death), the earth will be different. The previous earth was for our actions and now this new earth to witness our actions and suffer their consequences.
أَشْتَاتًا - We will be broken, cannot go back to our family, friends. عْملَ
Amal is that which we intend. We had some intention behind that deed/action and then we did it. Fa3al is thoughtless actions, like instant reflex. No planning went behind it. Allah will hold us accountable for things we had "ikhtiyaar" over, that we chose to perform. We made an honest decision and followed through.
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ
Atom is weightless. Something that they may have done so small in terms of good.
ذَرَّةٍ - Small specks of dust that fly in with sunlight into the room when you open the curtain.
خَيْرًا - Easily distinguished as good, you know it, its naturally known.
شَرًّا - Whose evil is naturally known. Even those who do it know its bad, its universally understood.
يَرَهُ - literally and figuratively. People will see all of their deeds and understand what they are worth. Like when you are a cell phone deal, they may end up getting a contract that is so incriminating. It ends up costs so much that they had no idea they were signing up for it. But for the people who will end up in Hell will have a very very good idea what was so wrong that they did because of which they are in hell.
Allah will show us for the things that He forgave us for. And for the deeds Allah multiplied our reward. We'll appreciate Allah's mercy and generosity that day. So you'll see the complete legend. How your sins and good deeds are tallied up.
The Surah beings with something really massive and ends with something minute. Meaning, all this tremendous changes on large scale for the sake of our small small deeds. This is the value of your actions.
