The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling 5 So they will become like fine dust, scattered in a shaft of light. 6 You will become three categories: 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 Outstrippers: the Outstrippers 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 In gardens of delight; 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 And a few from the latter. 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And fruit of what they select 20 and the meat of any bird that they may desire; 21 And [with them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, 22 like hidden pearls, 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 (They will be) among thornless lote-trees, 28 and clustered bananas, 29 And a shade ever-spread. 30 And water flowing constantly, 31 And fruit in plenty 32 never-failing and never out of reach. 33 And exalted thrones. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And have made them virgins. 36 Lovers, friends, 37 For the Companions of the Right Hand. 38
