The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 there is no denying its coming 2 Abasing (some), exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken up convulsively, 4 The mountains bruised and crushed, 5 becoming scattered dust, 6 You will become three categories: 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands), Who will be those on the Left Hand? (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). 9 But the foremost shall be [they who in life were] the foremost [in faith and good works]: 10 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A multitude of those of old 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 immortal youths shall go about them 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 prefer 20 and such flesh of fowl as they desire, 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 As for those of the right hand -- how (happy) those of the right hand -- 27 They will be in (the shade) of thornless lote 28 And clustered plantains, 29 And shade extended 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 on raised couches. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 And made them virginal, 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 for the people of the right hand 38
