The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 becoming scattered dust, 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In gardens of delight; 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), 17 Cups and decanters, beakers full of sparkling wine, 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 And [with them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, 22 like the pearls in their shells: 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 As for the People on the Right, how fortunate shall be the people on the Right! 27 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 And spreading shade, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 And fruits numberless, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 and raised couches 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 And made them virgins, 36 intensely loving and of matching age. 37 For the Companions of the Right Hand. 38
