The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When there happeneth the Event. 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken up convulsively, 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 In gardens of bliss [will they dwell] 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 but only a few from the later generations. 14 On studded thrones. 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 immortal youths shall go about them 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 shall be their recompense for their deeds. 24 Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 They will be in (the shade) of thornless lote 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 And water everflowing. 31 And fruit in plenty, 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 and made them virgins, 36 full of love, well-matched 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
