The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 Which is bound to happen undoubtedly -- 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands), Who will be those on the Right Hand? (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 A multitude of those of old 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 Seated on couches wrought in gold and encrusted with precious stones, 15 Reclining therein face to face. 16 They will be served by immortal boys, 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 Unheady, uninebriating; 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 a recompense for that they laboured. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and flowing water, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 And carpets raised. 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 So made them as maidens. 36 chastely amorous, 37 For those on the right hand; 38
