۞ When the great event comes to pass, 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 Abasing exalting. 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 becoming scattered dust, 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 Then those of the left hand -- how (unhappy) will be those of the left hand! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 and a few from later times. 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining face to face. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 Cups and decanters, beakers full of sparkling wine, 18 which will not cause them any intoxication or illness. 19 And fruit that they prefer 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 a recompense for all that they did. 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 Amid thornless lote-trees, 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 And extended shade, 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 And fruit in plenty, 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 and upraised couches. 34 and their spouses We shall have brought them into being afresh, 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 loving companions, matching in age, 37 For those on the right. 38
