The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 Those of the right hand -- how (happy) will be those of the right hand! 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 and the Outstrippers: the Outstrippers 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 and a few from later times. 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 like hidden pearls, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 And those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And clustered plantains, 29 and spreading shade 30 Gushing water, 31 and an abundance of fruits, 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 full of love, well-matched 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
