يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّي لاَ يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلاَّ هُوَ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ لاَ تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلاَّ بَغْتَة ً يَسْأَلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

They ask you regarding the Hour: "When will be its time?" Say: "Its knowledge is with my Lord, none can reveal its coming except He. It is heavy through the heavens and the earth; it will not come to you except suddenly." They ask you, as if you are responsible for it! Say: "Its knowledge is with God, but most of the people do not know."

Wa Taĥmilu 'Athqālakum 'Ilá Baladin Lam Takūnū Bālighīhi 'Illā Bishiqqi Al-'Anfusi 'Inna Rabbakum Lara'ūfun Raĥīmun
And they carry your loads to a land that you would not have been able to reach except with great strain. Your Lord is Compassionate, Merciful.
29:13
وَلَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقَالَهُمْ وَأَثْقَالا ً مَعَ أَثْقَالِهِمْ وَلَيُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
Wa Layaĥmilunna 'Athqālahum Wa 'Athqālāan Ma`a 'Athqālihim Wa Layus'alunna Yawma Al-Qiyāmati `Ammā Kānū Yaftarūna
And they will carry their own burdens, and burdens with their burdens, and they will be asked on the Day of Resurrection regarding what they fabricated.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّة ٍ وَإِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَة ً يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ أَجْراً عَظِيما ً
'Inna Allāha Lā Yažlimu Mithqāla Dharratin Wa 'In Taku Ĥasanatan YuĐā`ifhā Wa Yu'uti Min Ladunhu 'Ajrāan `Ažīmāan
Indeed, God does not wrong the weight of an atom; and if it is good He will double it. And He grants from Himself a great recompense.
10:61
وَمَا تَكُونُ فِي شَأْن ٍ وَمَا تَتْلُوا مِنْهُ مِنْ قُرْآن ٍ وَلاَ تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَل ٍ إِلاَّ كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودا ً إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيه ِِ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْ رَبِّكَ مِنْ مِثْقَالِ ذَرَّة ٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلاَ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلاَ أَكْبَرَ إِلاَّ فِي كِتَاب ٍ مُبِين ٍ

And any matter you are in, or any reciting you do of the Qur'an, or any work you do; We are witnesses over you when you undertake it. Nothing is hidden from your Lord, not even the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heavens, nor smaller than that nor larger, except it is in a clear record.
21:47
وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلاَ تُظْلَمُ نَفْس ٌ شَيْئا ً وَإِنْ كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّة ٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ

And We place the balances of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so that no soul will be wronged in the least. Even if it was the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And We are enough as a Reckoner.
31:16
يَابُنَيَّ إِنَّهَا إِنْ تَكُنْ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّة ٍ مِنْ خَرْدَل ٍ فَتَكُنْ فِي صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَوْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِير ٌ
Yā Bunayya 'Innahā 'In Takun Mithqāla Ĥabbatin Min Khardalin Fatakun Fī Şakhratin 'Aw Fī As-Samāwāti 'Aw Fī Al-'ArĐi Ya'ti Bihā Allāhu 'Inna Allāha Laţīfun Khabīrun
O my son, if it be anything, even the weight of a mustard seed, be it deep inside a rock, or be it in the heavens or the earth, God will bring it. God is Sublime, Expert.
34:3
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لاَ تَأْتِينَا السَّاعَةُ قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ لاَ يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّة ٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَلاَ أَكْبَرُ إِلاَّ فِي كِتَاب ٍ مُبِين ٍ

And those who rejected said: The Hour will not come to us! Say: Yes, by my Lord, it will come to you. He is the Knower of the unseen; not even the weight of an atom or less than that or greater can be hidden from Him, be it in the heavens or the earth. All are in a clear record.
34:22
قُلْ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّة ٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِنْ شِرْك ٍ وَمَا لَه ُُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ظَهِير ٍ
Qul Ad`ū Al-Ladhīna Za`amtum Min Dūni Allāhi Lā Yamlikūna Mithqāla Dharratin Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Lā Fī Al-'ArĐi Wa Mā Lahum Fīhimā Min Shirkin Wa Mā Lahu Minhum Min žahīrin
Say: Call on those whom you have claimed besides God. They do not possess even the weight of an atom in the heavens, or the earth. They possess no partnership therein, nor is there for Him any assistant among them.
99:7
فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرا ً يَرَهُ
Faman Ya`mal Mithqāla Dharratin Khayrāan Yarahu
So whoever does the weight of an atom of good will see it.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرا ً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِه ِِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابا ً ثِقَالا ً سُقْنَاه ُُ لِبَلَد ٍ مَيِّت ٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِه ِِ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ كَذَلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَى لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

He is the One who sends the winds to be dispersed between His hands of mercy; so when it carries a heavy cloud, We drive it to a dead land, and We send down the water with it and We bring forth fruits of all kind. It is thus that We will bring out the dead, perhaps you will remember.
9:41
انفِرُوا خِفَافا ً وَثِقَالا ً وَجَاهِدُوا بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْر ٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Anfirū Khifāfāan Wa Thiqālāan Wa Jāhidū Bi'amwālikum Wa 'Anfusikum Fī Sabīli Allāhi Dhālikum Khayrun Lakum 'In Kuntum Ta`lamūna
Mobilize in light gear or heavy gear, and strive with your money and lives in the cause of God. That is best if only you knew.
13:12
هُوَ الَّذِي يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفا ً وَطَمَعا ً وَيُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ
Huwa Al-Ladhī Yurīkumu Al-Barqa Khawfāan Wa Ţama`āan Wa Yunshi'u As-Saĥāba Ath-Thiqāla
He is the One who shows you the lightning, giving you fear and hope. And He establishes the heavy clouds.
73:5
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلا ً ثَقِيلا ً
'Innā Sanulqī `Alayka Qawlāan Thaqīlāan
We will place upon you a saying which is heavy.

هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْس ٍ وَاحِدَة ٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلاً خَفِيفا ً فَمَرَّتْ بِه ِِ فَلَمَّا أَثْقَلَتْ دَعَوَا اللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ آتَيْتَنَا صَالِحا ً لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ

He is the One who has created you from one person, and He made from it its mate to reside with. When he dwelled with her, she became pregnant with a light load, and she continued with it; then when it became heavy, they called on God, their Lord: "If You give us an upright child, then we will be among the thankful."
35:18
وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَة ٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَإِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَة ٌ إِلَى حِمْلِهَا لاَ يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْء ٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَى إِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَمَنْ تَزَكَّى فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّى لِنَفْسِه ِِ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ

And none can carry the load of another; and even if it calls on another to bear part of its load, no other can carry any part of it, even if they were related. You will only be able to warn those who are concerned towards their Lord while unseen, and they hold the contact prayer. And whoever contributes, is contributing for himself. And to God is the final destiny.

O you who believe, what is wrong with you when you are told: "Mobilize in the cause of God," you become heavy on the earth. Have you become content with this worldly life over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life compared to the Hereafter is nothing.
