The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 and there can be no denying its happening, 2 It will abase some and exalt others. 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 On studded thrones. 15 facing one another. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring - 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 And fruits such as they choose, 20 and such flesh of fowl as they desire, 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 The like of the hidden pearls: 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful talk 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 Midst lote-trees thornless. 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 and extended shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And raised couches. 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 We have made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 For those of the right hand. 38
