The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 there will be nought that could give the lie to its having come to pass, 2 Abasing (some), exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken violently, 4 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 8 And the People on the Left: and how miserable will be the People on the Left! 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam). 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 on lavish couches 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 which will not cause them any intoxication or illness. 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 The reward for what they did. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and spreading shade 30 and outpoured waters, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 never-ending and unforbidden. 33 And raised couches. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For those on the Right Hand. 38
