The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 There is no denying that it will befall - 2 (it will) abase (some) and exalt (others). 3 When the earth is shaken violently, 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be! 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race: 10 Who will be honoured 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 but only a few from the later generations. 14 [They will be seated] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 The reward for what they did. 24 No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.). 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And clustered plantains, 29 and shade extended, 30 and gushing water, 31 and abundant fruit, 32 undiminished and never denied 33 and upraised couches. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And have made them virgins. 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 For the companions of the right [who are] 38
