Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is no belying its coming to pass-- 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe,] 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 8 And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 Who will be honoured 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam). 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 On lined couches, 15 Reclining therein face to face. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 which will not cause them any intoxication or illness. 19 And fruits that they may like. 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 like hidden pearls, 23 The reward for what they did. 24 No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.). 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 And a shade ever-spread. 30 and outpoured waters, 31 And abundant fruit, 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 And raised couches; 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 For those on the right. 38
