The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the great event comes to pass, 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 And ye are classes three. 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 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 and a lesser number from the later generations. 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 Reclining face to face. 16 (and there) shall wait on them immortal youths 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 and with fruit of any kind that they may choose, 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And [with them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 and shade extended, 30 And water poured out 31 And fruit abundant. 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 on raised couches. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 And made them virginal, 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 for those on the Right, 38
