The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 – and then there will be no one to deny its occurrence – 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 This will happen when the earth is shaken, shaken 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 Becoming dust scattered abroad, 6 you shall be divided into three parties, 7 Those of the right hand -- how (happy) will be those of the right hand! 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 Who will be honoured 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 facing one another. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 and the meat of any bird that they may desire; 21 And wide eyed houris 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 And fruit in plenty 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 and made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For those on the right. 38
