Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 There is no belying its coming to pass-- 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 You will become three categories: 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 A multitude from the ancients. 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 On thrones decorated, 15 Reclining face to face. 16 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, 17 With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 21 And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), 22 Like pearls within their shells, 23 Reward for what they used to do. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 As for those of the right hand -- how (happy) those of the right hand -- 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And plantains laden with fruit. 29 And shade extended 30 And water poured out 31 and abundant fruit, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 And carpets raised. 34 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 35 So made them as maidens. 36 intensely loving and of matching age. 37 For those on the right. 38
