The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 so that they become as scattered dust 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 (The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 They will recline on jewelled couches 15 reclining on them facing each other; 16 immortal youths shall go about them 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 and the meat of any bird that they may desire; 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful talk 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 27 Amid thornless lote-trees, 28 Among Talh (banana-trees) with fruits piled one above another, 29 and continuous shade, 30 near to flowing water 31 and abundant fruit, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And exalted thrones. 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 And made them virginal, 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 All this will be for the People on the Right; 38
