The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 When the earth is shaken up convulsively, 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race: 10 Who will be honoured 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On thrones woven [with ornament], 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 The like of the hidden pearls: 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 And those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 27 Amid thornless lote-trees, 28 and banana trees, 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 and outpoured waters, 31 and an abundance of fruits, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 And raised couches; 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
