The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 And there can be no denying of its befalling. 2 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 Becoming dust scattered abroad, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 And the People on the Left: and how miserable will be the People on the Left! 9 And the Outstrippers, the Outstrippers 10 Those! they shall be the brought nigh, 11 In the Gardens of Pleasure, 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 On thrones decorated, 15 Reclining on them, facing one another. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And such fruits as they fancy, 20 and the meat of any bird that they may desire; 21 And companions with big beautiful eyes 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 a recompense for that they laboured. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 (They will be) among thornless lote-trees, 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 and amid the extended shade 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 And fruits numberless, 32 unfailing, unforbidden, 33 And exalted thrones. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 And made them virginal, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For those on the right hand; 38
