The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 And there can be no denying of its befalling. 2 (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 and the mountains are shattered into [countless] shards, 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 And ye are classes three. 7 Those of the right hand -- how (happy) will be those of the right hand! 8 The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be! 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 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 a host of the ancients 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 There shall go round unto them youths ever-young. 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin - 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 and amid the extended shade 30 and gushing water, 31 and abundant fruit, 32 unfailing and not forbidden. 33 And exalted thrones. 34 and their spouses We shall have brought them into being afresh, 35 and made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
