The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ WHEN THAT which must come to pass [at last] comes to pass, 1 (and none denies its descending) 2 It will abase some and exalt others. 3 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 And ye are classes three. 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 Then those of the left hand -- how (unhappy) will be those of the left hand! 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 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 And a few from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 like hidden pearls, 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 Other than "Peace, peace" the salutation. 26 NOW AS FOR those who have attained to righteousness - what of those who have attained to righteousness? 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 And clusters of banana plants. 29 And extended shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 unfailing and not forbidden. 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 So made them as maidens. 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For those on the right hand; 38
