The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 (and none denies its descending) 2 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]. 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 And you (all) will be in three kinds (i.e. separate groups). 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few of later ages, 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 Reclining on them, 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 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 The like of the hidden pearls: 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and extended shade, 30 And water everflowing. 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 unfailing and not forbidden. 33 And raised couches. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 And made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
