When the Believers Are Tried

When the earth is shaken to its most violent convulsion. And the earth delivers its weighty bearings.

On that Day people will come forth [individually and] in separate [groups] to see [the consequences of] their own doings. Whoever [today] does an atom’s weight of good, will then see it. Whoever [today] does an atom’s weight of evil, will then see it.
