The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 (and none denies its descending) 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In gardens of tranquility; 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 and a few from later times. 14 They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, 15 Reclining face to face. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 along with fruits of their choice; 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, 22 The likenesses of pearls well-protected, 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 Except the saying, “Peace, peace.” 26 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 27 Midst lote-trees thornless. 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 And shade extended 30 and waters gushing, 31 And fruit in abundance. 32 never-failing and never out of reach. 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For those on the right. 38
