willingly or unwillingly,
all things and beings that are in the heavens and the earth,
as do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings. Qur'an 13:15

Seek help in patience and prayer.
Truly! Allah is with the patient." Qur'an, Surah al Baqarah; 2:153-154

from the great sins and evil deeds" Qur'an , Surah Al Ankabut 45

"Extol, then, God's limitless glory
when you enter upon the evening hours, and when you rise at morn;
and seeing that unto Him is due all praise in the heavens and earth,
glorify Him in the afternoon as well,
and when you enter upon the hour of noon. Qur'an 30:17-18

[Shamim Ansary]

Surah AL-ZILZAL (99): "The Earthquake"

(Revealed At Mecca)

In the name of Allah, The Merciful, The All-merciful



When the earth is shaken violently,(1)

and the earth brings forth her burden,(2)

and Man says, `what ails her?'(3)

That day she will relate her news,(4)

for that thy Lord will have inspired her.(5)

That day mankind shall come forth in scattered groups, that they may be shown their works.(6)

Now whoso does an atom's weight of good shall see it.(7)

And whoso does an atom's weight of evil shall see it.(
