The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 And there can be no denying of its befalling. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, 4 and the mountains are shattered into [countless] shards, 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be! 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race: 10 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 Reclining therein face to face. 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And fruits such as they choose, 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 And companions with big beautiful eyes 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. 26 The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 And spreading shade, 30 and flowing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 and made them virgins, 36 Loving companions matched in age, 37 for those on the Right, 38
