The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Terror descends 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 You shall then become three groups. 7 Thus, there shall be such as will have attained to what is right: oh, how [happy] will be they who have attained to what is right! 8 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 (The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 facing one another. 16 immortal youths shall go about them 17 Carrying bowls and pitchers - and cups filled with wine flowing before them. 18 no brows throbbing, no intoxication 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 A recompense for that which they have been working. 24 Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 The Companions of the Right. O Companions of the Right! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and spreading shade 30 and gushing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 unfailing, unforbidden, 33 and upraised couches. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 We have made them virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 All this will be for the People on the Right; 38
