The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be! 8 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 a host of the ancients 13 but only a few from the later generations. 14 They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, 15 reclining upon them, facing one another [in love]. 16 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, 17 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 And fruit that they prefer 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 27 Among thorn-less lote-trees. 28 And clustered plantains, 29 and extended shade, 30 and flowing water, 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, 33 And couches raised up. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 We have made them virgins, 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 for the people of the right hand 38
