The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 (and none denies its descending) 2 Degrading (some) and exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken up convulsively, 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 becoming scattered dust, 6 And ye will be 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 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 Those! they shall be the brought nigh, 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 a good many of those of olden times, 13 And a few from the latter. 14 They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, 15 Reclining thereon facing each other. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin - 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And clustered plantains, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and outpoured waters, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 And carpets raised. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 and made them virgins, 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
