The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 there is no denying its coming 2 Abasing exalting. 3 This will happen when the earth is shaken, shaken 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And you will become divided into three categories. 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 They are in Gardens of peace. 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Youths of never-ending bloom will pass round to them 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 and with fruit of any kind that they may choose, 20 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 Amid thornless lote-trees, 28 and banana trees, 29 and extended shade, 30 near to flowing water 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 and made them virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
