“And when the Earth throws out its burdens”

I attend a weekly study of the Quran, the Quran is our Holy Book, and this week we finished discussing ‘The greatest Verse’. I really enjoyed this session as I read this verse a few times a day to myself and my children, and it felt good knowing the words without looking.

I had some ‘spare’ time today, because I had cooked the last few days and only had to cook breakfast, and put together lunch and dinner. So I decided to look up another quran study, of a shorter ‘chapter’ called ‘The Earthquake’ and was pleasantly surprised at how much of a boost it gave me. Took me.. it brought me closer to reality.

The verse/verses that stood out were, “And when the earth throws out its burdens,..That Day it will declare its information (about all what happened over it of good or evil)…” Burdens here basically means dead people! The once stable and reliable earth will have transformed and regurgitated all the dead bodies that had died within.

So, a murderer will be churned out and (whether caught or not) will say, “I killed for this”. He will have no control over his faculties, and the Earth being a witness to his crimes will speak out against the evil, or for the good, people did. Wow! That is both terrifying and refreshing. And so graphic, even though it’s nothing like what we’ve witnessed.

Studying really helps boost the morale. Any kind of study does I think, but for me this hit the spot! Gonna go put on the ‘Qariah’ app of women reciters and listen to the ‘chapter’ now! Ciao
