The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the inevitable event comes, 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 And ye are classes three. 7 So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands), Who will be those on the Right Hand? (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 Who will be honoured 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 Many of them will be from the ancient people 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And fruit of what they select 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 And pure, beautiful ones, 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin - 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 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 flowing water, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 And made them virginal, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For those of the right hand. 38
