The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the great event comes to pass, 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 and the mountains fragmented 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 You will become three categories: 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 But the foremost shall be [they who in life were] the foremost [in faith and good works]: 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 They are in Gardens of peace. 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 And a few from the later generations. 14 On studded thrones. 15 reclining upon them, facing one another [in love]. 16 immortal youths shall go about them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 And fruits such as they choose, 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 like hidden pearls, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful talk 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 Amid thornless lote-trees, 28 and acacias flower-clad, 29 and shade extended, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 and upraised couches. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 And made them virgins, 36 full of love, well-matched 37 All this will be for the People on the Right; 38
