The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 (The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God 11 In the Gardens of Pleasure, 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 On thrones decorated, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Youths of never-ending bloom will pass round to them 17 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 and such fruits as they shall choose, 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 like unto pearls [still] hidden in their shells. 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 (They will be) among thornless lote-trees, 28 and banana trees, 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 and abundant fruits, 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 And exalted thrones. 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 people of the right hand 38
