۞ When there happeneth the Event. 1 and there can be no denying its happening, 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 When the earth is shaken 4 and the mountains crumbled 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 (a throng of the ancients 13 and a lesser number from the later generations. 14 [They will be seated] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, 15 reclining upon them, set face to face, 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 And fruit of what they select 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, 22 Like pearls safely hidden. 23 a recompense for that they laboured. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 And clustered plantains, 29 and spreading shade 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 And fruit in abundance. 32 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, 33 And carpets raised. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 for those on the Right, 38
