The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 This will happen when the earth is shaken, shaken 4 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands), Who will be those on the Left Hand? (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). 9 Then the foremost, how pre-excellent, 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, 17 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring - 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, 22 Like pearls within their shells, 23 As reward for what they used to do. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 As for the People on the Right, how fortunate shall be the people on the Right! 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 And spreading shade, 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 And fruit in plenty, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For those on the Right Hand. 38
