The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 And there can be no denying of its befalling. 2 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]. 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 You will become three categories: 7 Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 These will be those nearest to Allah. 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Youths of never-ending bloom will pass round to them 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses. 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 Like pearls safely hidden. 23 a recompense for all that they did. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 As for the People on the Right, how fortunate shall be the people on the Right! 27 They will live amid the thornless lot trees 28 and clustered bananas, 29 And shade extended 30 near to flowing water 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, 33 And carpets raised. 34 We have indeed developed these women with an excellent development. 35 having resurrected them as virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
