۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 and there can be no denying its happening, 2 The event will be abasing some, and exalting some. 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 and the mountains are shattered into [countless] shards, 5 Turned to dust, floating in the air, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam). 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 Reclining thereon facing each other. 16 (and there) shall wait on them immortal youths 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 and with fruit of any kind that they may choose, 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin - 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 The Companions of the Right 27 (They will be) among thornless lote-trees, 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 And in everlasting shade. 30 and flowing water 31 and fruits abounding 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 and raised couches 34 We have formed them in a distinctive fashion, 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For those on the right. 38
