WHEN THE EARTH BRINGS FORTH ITS BURDENS!
VERSES NO.1-8
This sura is started with description of some dreadful events at the end of this world and beginning of resurrection.
When the terrible earthquake happens and the earth brings forth its burdens. The burden may refer to corpses thrown out from the tombs, or the molten stones or the mines and treasures projecting out of the earth, when the earthquake happens.
However, man, believer or unbeliever, is terrified seeing this unprecedented scene. It is the blast of end of world.
More importantly, on that Day, the earth discloses all the good and evil happened on it, and one of the most important witnesses for one's deeds is the earth on which we are living and doing our deeds.
We read in a tradition from Prophet (SA): Telling its news means that it informs of whatever deed any man and woman has done thereon.
On that day, man sees and accompanies his deeds which could be joyful or torturing. This verse is one of the clearest verses implying visualization of deeds.
Then, reference is made to the end of each of the believer and unbeliever or righteous and evildoer groups. Whoever has done an atom's weight of good or evil will see it.
The deeds are reckoned, inspected and calculated on the Day of Resurrection precisely and carefully. On that great audit the least deeds are calculated. 
Moreover, these verses warn to belittle neither the minor sins, nor the good deeds. 
Everything is considered and taken into account; it does not matter if it is small and insignificant.
Verily, true faith on the contents of these verses is sufficient for keeping man in the path of truth and hindering him from any evil and sin.
