The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 Abasing (some), exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be! 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 Those! they shall be the brought nigh, 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On studded thrones. 15 Reclining thereon facing each other. 16 There wait on them immortal youths 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 And fruit of what they select 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 Like pearls within their shells, 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 And those on the Right Hand, Who will be those on the Right Hand? 27 Midst lote-trees thornless. 28 and serried acacias, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and outpoured waters, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And on couches or thrones, raised high. 34 Perfectly We formed them, perfect, 35 And have made them virgins. 36 loving and of equal age. 37 for the people of the right hand 38
