The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 (it will) abase (some) and exalt (others). 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 You will become three categories: 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 In the Gardens of Pleasure, 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 On thrones decorated, 15 Reclining face to face. 16 Youths of never-ending bloom will pass round to them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 And fruits that they may like. 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 And companions with big beautiful eyes 22 like pearls preserved in their shells, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 and clustered bananas, 29 and amid the extended shade 30 and waters gushing, 31 And abundant fruit, 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 And have made them virgins. 36 Lovers, friends, 37 All this will be for the People on the Right; 38
