۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 So they will become like fine dust, scattered in a shaft of light. 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 In gardens of bliss [will they dwell] 12 A multitude of those of old 13 And a few of later ages, 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 Reclining on them, facing one another. 16 They will be served by immortal boys, 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 that will neither make the head throb, nor intoxicate, 19 And fruits such as they choose, 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful talk 25 Only the saying, "Peace!

We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 And made them virgins. 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 with those who have attained to righteousness: 38
