The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 So they will become like fine dust, scattered in a shaft of light. 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted, 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 like hidden pearls, 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 and continuous shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 And abundant fruit, 32 Unending, unforbidden, 33 and upraised couches. 34 We have formed them in a distinctive fashion, 35 having resurrected them as virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 with those who have attained to righteousness: 38
