The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 There is no belying its coming to pass-- 2 (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt; 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 and the mountains will crumble 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 Reclining therein face to face. 16 (and there) shall wait on them immortal youths 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 And fruit of what they select 20 and any flesh of fowl that they desire. 21 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 The reward for what they did. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 Except the word peace, peace. 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 And in everlasting shade. 30 and flowing water 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 on raised couches. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
