The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event comes, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 Turned to dust, floating in the air, 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 Then those of the left hand -- how (unhappy) will be those of the left hand! 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On studded thrones. 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: 18 Unheady, uninebriating; 19 And such fruits as they fancy, 20 And meat of birds that they may wish. 21 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 And those on the Right Hand, Who will be those on the Right Hand? 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 And in everlasting shade. 30 And water everflowing. 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And raised couches. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
