The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ WHEN THAT which must come to pass [at last] comes to pass, 1 there is no denying its coming 2 It will abase some and exalt others. 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 But the foremost shall be [they who in life were] the foremost [in faith and good works]: 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 They are in Gardens of peace. 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 On studded thrones. 15 Reclining face to face. 16 There shall go round unto them youths ever-young. 17 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 The like of the hidden pearls: 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 Except the word peace, peace. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and extended shade, 30 And water gushing, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Loving companions matched in age, 37 All this will be for the People on the Right; 38
