The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is no denying that it will befall - 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 when the earth will suddenly shake with a terrible shaking, 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 And the Outstrippers, the Outstrippers 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 Reclining on them, facing one another. 16 immortal youths going round about them 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 like the pearls in their shells: 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 The Companions of the Right 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 and clustered bananas, 29 and shade extended, 30 Gushing water, 31 and abundant fruits, 32 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 Indeed We formed them (the houris and all believing women), 35 And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - 36 full of love, well-matched 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
