The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ WHEN THAT which must come to pass [at last] comes to pass, 1 and there can be no denying its happening, 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken 4 and the mountains fragmented 5 So that they shall be as scattered dust. 6 and you shall be three bands -- 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 And a few from the latter. 14 On studded thrones. 15 Reclining face to face. 16 immortal youths going round about them 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 and such fruits as they shall choose, 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And pure, beautiful ones, 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 They will not hear therein any vain or sinful talk, 25 Except the saying, “Peace, peace.” 26 The Companions of the Right 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 and banana trees, 29 and continuous shade, 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 unfailing, unforbidden, 33 on raised couches. 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. 37 For those on the right. 38
