The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be! 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 On thrones decorated, 15 Reclining face to face. 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring - 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 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 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And plantains laden with fruit. 29 and shade extended, 30 And water gushing, 31 and fruits abounding 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 Perfectly We formed them, perfect, 35 and made them virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
