The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, 5 they will become like dust scattered around. 6 You will become three categories: 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 Companions of the Left (O Companions of the Left!) 9 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. 10 Those! they shall be the brought nigh, 11 In gardens of bliss [will they dwell] 12 A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam). 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 And [with them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, 22 like hidden pearls, 23 a recompense for all that they did. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 Except the word peace, peace. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and gushing water, 31 And abundant fruit, 32 Unending, unforbidden, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 We have made them virgins, 36 intensely loving and of matching age. 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
