The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 Abasing (some), exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken with convulsion 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Thus, there shall be such as will have attained to what is right: oh, how [happy] will be they who have attained to what is right! 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 and the Outstrippers: the Outstrippers 10 Those! they shall be the brought nigh, 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 a host of the ancients 13 And a few from the later generations. 14 On studded thrones. 15 facing one another. 16 immortal youths going round about them 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of limpid drink. 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and such flesh of fowl as they desire, 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 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 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. 26 And the fellows on the right hand; how be happy shall the fellows on the right hand be! 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and amid the extended shade 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 and fruits abounding 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 And raised couches; 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 having resurrected them as virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
