The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is no belying its coming to pass-- 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe,] 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 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 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 a good many of those of olden times, 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 They will recline on jewelled couches 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 They will be served by immortal boys, 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of limpid drink. 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 And fruits that they may like. 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 27 Among thorn-less lote-trees. 28 And clusters of banana plants. 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 And water everflowing. 31 And abundant fruit, 32 undiminished and never denied 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
