The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 And ye are classes three. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 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 Who will be honoured 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam). 13 And a few from among the latter. 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 Like pearls safely hidden. 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 Other than "Peace, peace" the salutation. 26 The Companions of the Right (O Companions of the Right!) 27 (They will be) among thornless lote-trees, 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 And shade extended 30 and waters gushing, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 And raised couches. 34 We have indeed developed these women with an excellent development. 35 And made them virginal, 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 For the Companions of the Right Hand. 38
