The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 – and then there will be no one to deny its occurrence – 2 Abasing exalting. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 becoming scattered dust, 6 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 In the Gardens of Pleasure, 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 reclining on them facing each other; 16 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 and with fruit of any kind that they may choose, 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 and banana trees, 29 And spreading shade, 30 and flowing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And made them virgins. 36 Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. 37 For those on the Right Hand. 38
