Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 there is no denying its coming 2 (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: 3 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, 4 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 and you shall be three bands -- 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 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A multitude of those of old 13 and a few from later times. 14 [They will be seated] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 And pure, beautiful ones, 22 The like of the hidden pearls: 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 NOW AS FOR those who have attained to righteousness - what of those who have attained to righteousness? 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 and flowing water 31 And fruit in abundance. 32 unfailing and not forbidden. 33 on raised couches. 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For those on the right. 38
