The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 When the earth is shaken 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 And you will become divided into three categories. 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be! 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 In the Gardens of delight (Paradise). 12 A large group from the earlier generations. 13 but only a few from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk; 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 The likenesses of pearls well-protected, 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 And in everlasting shade. 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 and fruit abounding, 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 And couches raised up. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 And have made them virgins. 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 For those on the right hand; 38
