The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 – and then there will be no one to deny its occurrence – 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth is shaken up convulsively, 4 The mountains bruised and crushed, 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 Thus, there shall be such as will have attained to what is right: oh, how [happy] will be they who have attained to what is right! 8 Then those of the left hand -- how (unhappy) will be those of the left hand! 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 in the Gardens of Bliss. 12 Many of them will be from the ancient people 13 but only a few from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 reclining upon them, facing one another [in love]. 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 and with fruit of any kind that they may choose, 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 And pure, beautiful ones, 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 As reward for what they used to do. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 And plantains laden with fruit. 29 and spreading shade 30 and gushing water, 31 And fruit abundant. 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And carpets raised. 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 We have made them virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
