The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 you shall be divided into three parties, 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 Companions of the Left, what are the 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 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 on lavish couches 15 reclining on them facing each other; 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 that will neither make the head throb, nor intoxicate, 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And [with them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, 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 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 They will be in (the shade) of thornless lote 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 and continuous shade, 30 and waters gushing, 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 never-failing and never out of reach. 33 And exalted thrones. 34 We have indeed developed these women with an excellent development. 35 and made them virgins, 36 loving companions, matching in age, 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
