The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the forthcoming event does occur. 1 there is no denying its coming 2 Abasing (some), exalting (others); 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 And you will become divided into three categories. 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 (The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A large group from the earlier generations. 13 but only a few from the later generations. 14 On lined couches, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 They will be served by immortal boys, 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 Other than "Peace, peace" the salutation. 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 and continuous shade, 30 Gushing water, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, 35 And made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
