The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt; 3 When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe,] 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. 10 Who will be honoured 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 Many of them will be from the ancient people 13 And a few from among the latter. 14 On lined couches, 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 immortal youths shall go about them 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; 19 And fruits such as they choose, 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 like unto pearls [still] hidden in their shells. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 And the fellows on the right hand; how be happy shall the fellows on the right hand be! 27 They will live amid the thornless lot trees 28 and acacias flower-clad, 29 and continuous shade, 30 and flowing water 31 and fruit abounding, 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 and upraised couches. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 And made them virginal, 36 Lovers, friends, 37 for those on the Right, 38
