The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is no denying that it will befall - 2 Abasing exalting. 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. 10 Who will be honoured 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A multitude of those of old 13 and a lesser number from the later generations. 14 On thrones decorated, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear therein any vain or sinful talk, 25 Except the word peace, peace. 26 And the fellows on the right hand; how be happy shall the fellows on the right hand be! 27 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 and extended shade, 30 and gushing water, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And exalted thrones. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And made them virgins. 36 Lovers, friends, 37 for those on the Right, 38
