The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 The mountains bruised and crushed, 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 you shall be divided into three parties, 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 in the Gardens of Bliss. 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 Seated on couches wrought in gold and encrusted with precious stones, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Youths of never-ending bloom will pass round to them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 The Companions of the Right 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 and extended shade, 30 and flowing water, 31 And fruit in plenty, 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For those on the Right Hand. 38
