The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 (and none denies its descending) 2 The event will be abasing some, and exalting some. 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 And you will become divided into three categories. 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands), Who will be those on the Left Hand? (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 These will be those nearest to Allah. 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 (a throng of the ancients 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 On lined couches, 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 There shall go round unto them youths ever-young. 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 And fruit that they prefer 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 like pearls preserved in their shells, 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And plantains laden with fruit. 29 and continuous shade, 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 and raised couches 34 Perfectly We formed them, perfect, 35 We have made them virgins, 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 For those on the Right Hand. 38
