The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 It will abase some and exalt others. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 So that they shall be as scattered dust. 6 You shall then become three groups. 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 (The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 (a throng of the ancients 13 And a few of later ages, 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring 18 which will not cause them any intoxication or illness. 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 Like pearls safely hidden. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 and continuous shade, 30 And water everflowing. 31 and abundant fruit, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 full of love, well-matched 37 with those who have attained to righteousness: 38
