The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 Abasing exalting. 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 and you shall be three bands -- 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands), Who will be those on the Left Hand? (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 In gardens of bliss [will they dwell] 12 A multitude of those of old 13 And a few from the latter. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 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 the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 Midst lote-trees thornless. 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 And spreading shade, 30 and gushing water, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 and raised couches 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And have made them virgins. 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
