The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: 3 When the earth is shaken with convulsion 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 So that they shall be as scattered dust. 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 In gardens of delight; 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 And a few from the later generations. 14 On thrones woven [with ornament], 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 like unto pearls [still] hidden in their shells. 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 and amid the extended shade 30 and waters gushing, 31 and abundant fruits, 32 unfailing and not forbidden. 33 And exalted thrones. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
