The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 They will be served by immortal boys, 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 Like pearls within their shells, 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 Other than "Peace, peace" the salutation. 26 The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 near to flowing water 31 and fruits abounding 32 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For the Companions of the Right Hand. 38
