The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 Abasing exalting. 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. 7 So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands), Who will be those on the Right Hand? (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). 8 And there shall be such as will have lost themselves in evil: oh, how [unhappy] will be they who have lost themselves in evil! 9 and the Outstrippers: the Outstrippers 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 reclining upon them, set face to face, 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 and such flesh of fowl as they desire, 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 like unto pearls [still] hidden in their shells. 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 They will be in (the shade) of thornless lote 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 and continuous shade, 30 and gushing water, 31 and fruits in abundance, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And carpets raised. 34 We have indeed developed these women with an excellent development. 35 And made them virgins, 36 Lovers, friends, 37 for the people of the right hand 38
