What Does the Quran Say About Quakes?

Quakes are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[7:78] Consequently, the quake annihilated them, leaving them dead in their homes.

[7:91] The quake annihilated them, leaving them dead in their homes.

[7:155] Moses then selected seventy men from among his people, to come to our appointed audience. When the quake shook them, he said, “My Lord, You could have annihilated them in the past, together with me, if You so willed. Would You annihilate us for the deeds of those among us who are foolish? This must be the test that You have instituted for us. With it, You condemn whomever You will, and guide whomever You will. You are our Lord and Master, so forgive us, shower us with Your mercy; You are the best Forgiver.

[29:40] All those disbelievers were doomed as a consequence of their sins. Some of them we annihilated by violent winds, some were annihilated by the quake, some we caused the earth to swallow, and some we drowned. God is not the One who wronged them; it is they who wronged their own souls.

[69:5] As for Thamoud, they were annihilated by the devastating (quake).

[73:14] The day will come when the earth and the mountains will quake, and the mountains will turn into a weightless pile.

[79:6] The day the quake quakes.

[79:7] Followed by the second blow.

[79:8] Certain minds will be terrified.

[99:1] When the earth is severely quaked.

[99:2] And the earth ejects its loads.

[99:3] The human will wonder: “What is happening?”

[99:4] On that day, it will tell its news.

[99:5] That your Lord has commanded it.

[99:6] On that day, the people will issue from every direction, to be shown their works.

[99:7] Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.

[99:8] And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.
