The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is, at its occurrence, no denial. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 And a few from among the latter. 14 Seated on couches wrought in gold and encrusted with precious stones, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 There shall go round unto them youths ever-young. 17 Cups and decanters, beakers full of sparkling wine, 18 Unheady, uninebriating; 19 and such fruits as they shall choose, 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 like unto pearls [still] hidden in their shells. 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 And the fellows on the right hand; how be happy shall the fellows on the right hand be! 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 and amid the extended shade 30 Gushing water, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 Perfectly We formed them, perfect, 35 and made them virgins, 36 intensely loving and of matching age. 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
