Surah Al-Zilzal deals with the second life after death that will take place on a day when the earth will be shaken violently. As a result of tremendous convulsions, the earth will throw out dead bodies, treasures of gold, silver, jewels and every kind of wealth lying hidden in its belly. Verse 4 of Surah Al-Inshiqaq says,"And throws out whatever is within it and becomes empty." The scattered parts of decayed bodies will be resurrected in the shape of their first life and the situation will be confounding to the man. The earth will speak out on that Day by Allah's command as witness and will narrate each individual's acts that he had committed in his worldly life at particular times and places. All human beings shall be presented with such complete records of their deeds that they will personally see all their goods and evils even to the size of a particle.
Importance in a Muslim's life:
This surah tells about the ultimate future of man and this world which is a question in many minds. Death is not total annihilation to a believer. The thought of Resurrection is a sign of satisfaction for his continued existence after death. Eternal life also tells him the purpose of his existence - adherence to virtues and distance from evils. Doomsday is the ultimate Day of Justice where the righteous men shall be rewarded paradise and the wrongdoers shall be punished.
Al-Mighty Allah knows everything directly, but He will fulfill the demands of Justice for punishing the culprits. Witness of two recording angels and ratification of the earth on his deeds will provide clear and undeniable proofs. When a person believes that the earth will testify to his deeds, he will abstain from all kinds of social evils like drinking, bribery, theft and earning wealth through illegal means.
When a Muslim believes that even the most ordinary good has its own weight and value on the Judgement Day, it will promote self-sacrifice and moral values in the society. People will give importance to small insignificant deeds of goodness like talking with a smiling face. And the belief that the most ordinary evils will not be overlooked shall promote the behavior of staying away from trivial sins.
