The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the inevitable event comes, 1 there is no denying its coming 2 Abasing exalting. 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 so that they become as scattered dust 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 And those on the left hand; how miserable shall those on the left hand be! 9 Then the foremost, how pre-excellent, 10 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 (a throng of the ancients 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining therein face to face. 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 18 They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted, 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk 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 shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 And plantains laden with fruit. 29 In shade long-extended, 30 And water everflowing. 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And have made them virgins. 36 chastely amorous, 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
