The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Event inevitable cometh to pass, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 (it will) abase (some) and exalt (others). 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 And the mountains will be powdered to dust. 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 And there shall be such as will have lost themselves in evil: oh, how [unhappy] will be they who have lost themselves in evil! 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 These will be those nearest to Allah. 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 There wait on them immortal youths 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And fruit that they prefer 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 And spreading shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 Perfectly We formed them, perfect, 35 And made them virgins. 36 Loving, of equal age. 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
