The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ WHEN THAT which must come to pass [at last] comes to pass, 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 so that they become as scattered dust 6 and you shall be three bands -- 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 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 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 They shall be the nearest to God. 11 In the Gardens of delight (Paradise). 12 a host of the ancients 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 On thrones woven [with ornament], 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses. 19 along with fruits of their choice; 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.). 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 and banana trees, 29 And spreading shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 loving companions, matching in age, 37 For those on the right. 38
