The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 Degrading (some) and exalting (others); 3 When the earth is shaken 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 And ye are classes three. 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 And the People on the Left: and how miserable will be the People on the Left! 9 But the foremost shall be [they who in life were] the foremost [in faith and good works]: 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 They (will be seated) on gold-encrusted couches, 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses. 19 And fruits that they may like. 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 a recompense for all that they did. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. 26 NOW AS FOR those who have attained to righteousness - what of those who have attained to righteousness? 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 And clusters of banana plants. 29 and extended shade, 30 And water gushing, 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 And raised couches; 34 and their spouses We shall have brought them into being afresh, 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
