The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]. 3 This will happen when the earth is shaken, shaken 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Thus, there shall be such as will have attained to what is right: oh, how [happy] will be they who have attained to what is right! 8 And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands), Who will be those on the Left Hand?

We have created them a (new) creation 35 And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - 36 loving and of equal age. 37 with those who have attained to righteousness: 38
