Earthquake And The Holy Qur'an

And 
WE have in the earth

firm mountains 

lest 

it should quake 

with them; 

and  
WE have made therein

wide pathways, 

and 
they maybe rightly guarded.

- Surah Al-Anbiya'  (The Prophets):32

So 
WE punished each of them

for his sins; 

of them 
were some on whom  

WE sent Hasib 

(a violent wind with shower of stones) 

(as the people of Lut (Lot)), 

and of them 
were some  

who were overtaken 

by As-Saihah 

(torment - awful cry. 

(as Thamud or Shu'aib's people), 

and of them 
were some whom

WE caused the earth 

to swallow 

(as Qarun (Korah), 

and of them 
were some  

whom WE drowned 

(as the people of Nuh (Noah),  

or Fir'aun (Pharaoh) 

and his people). 

It was not ALLAH 

Who wronged them, 

but 
they wronged themselves. 

- Surah Al-'Ankabut (The Spider):40  

O mankind! 

Fear your LORD 

and be dutiful to HIM! 

Verily, 

the earthquake of the Hour 

(of Judgment) 

is a terrible thing. 

The Day you see it, 

every nursing mother 

will forget her nursling, 

and every pregnant one 

will drop her load, 

and you shall see mankind 

as in a drunken state, 

yet 

they will not  be drunken,

but severe 

will be  the torment of ALLAH.

- Surah Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage):1-2  

Do you then  feel secure

that HE  will not cause

a side of the land 

to swallow you up, 

or that 

HE will not  send against you

a violent sand-storm? 

Then, 

you shall find  no Wakil

(guardian - one to guard you 

from the torment).

- Surah Al-Isra' (Journey By Night):68  

Or 

do you feel secure 

that HE, 

Who is over the heaven 
(ALLAH),

will not send  against you

a violent whirlwind? 

Then 

you shall know 

how (terrible) 

has been  MY  Warning?

And indeed 

those before them  belied

(the Messengers of ALLAH), 

then how terrible 

was MY denial (punishment)? 

- Surah Al-Mulk (Dominion):17-18)  

And 

HE has set firm  mountains

in the earth 

so that it will not shake 

with you... 

- Surah An-Nahl (The Bees) 

Those before them 

indeed plotted, 

but 

ALLAH struck at the foundation 

of their building, 

and then 

the roof fell upon them,

from above them, 

and the torment  overtook them

from directions 

they did not perceive.

- Surah An-Nahl (The Bees):26 

Do then 
those

who devise evil plots 

feel secure 

that 
ALLAH will not sink them 

into the earth, 

or that 

the torment 

will not seize them 

from directions 

they perceive not? 

- Surah An-Nahl (The Bees):45 

When the earth 

is shaken 

with its (final) earthquake. 

And 

when the earth 

throws out its burdens. 

And 

man will say: 

"What is the matter with it?" 

That Day 

it will declare 

its information 

(about all that happened  over it

of good or evil). 

Because 

your LORD 

will inspire it. 

That Day 

mankind will proceed 

in scattered groups 

that  they may be shown

their deeds. 

So 

whosoever does good 

equal to the weight 

of an atom (or a small ant) 

shall see it. 

And 

whosoever does evil 

equal to the weight 

of an atom (or a small ant) 

shall see it."  

-Surah Az-Zalzalah :1-8
