Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 – and then there will be no one to deny its occurrence – 2 Degrading (some) and exalting (others); 3 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 They will recline on jewelled couches 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 There shall go round unto them youths ever-young. 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Unheady, uninebriating; 19 along with fruits of their choice; 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 The Companions of the Right 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 and clustered bananas, 29 And extended shade, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 And fruits numberless, 32 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, 33 and raised couches 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 We have made them virgins, 36 loving companions, matching in age, 37 For those on the right. 38
