The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 (it will) abase (some) and exalt (others). 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 And ye are classes three. 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 (a throng of the ancients 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, 15 reclining on them facing each other; 16 They will be served by immortal boys, 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted, 19 And fruit of what they select 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 Like pearls within their shells, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will hear no nonsense there or talk of sin, 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 (They will be) among thornless lote-trees, 28 and serried acacias, 29 And extended shade, 30 And water poured out 31 and fruit abounding, 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. 37 For those on the Right Hand. 38
