The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Terror descends 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]. 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 Many of them will be from the ancient people 13 And a few from the latter. 14 They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 immortal youths shall go about them 17 With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 along with fruits of their choice; 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, 22 like the pearls in their shells: 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 27 Midst lote-trees thornless. 28 and clustered bananas, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and gushing water, 31 and fruits abounding 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 35 And made them virgins, 36 full of love, well-matched 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
