The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event comes, 1 Which is bound to happen undoubtedly -- 2 (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 You shall then become three groups. 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 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On lined couches, 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 Cups and decanters, beakers full of sparkling wine, 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 And fruits such as they choose, 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 The reward for what they did. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 only the saying 'Peace, Peace!' 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 Among thornless lote-trees 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 And extended shade, 30 near to flowing water 31 And fruit in plenty 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation 35 And made them virgins. 36 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, 37 For those on the right. 38
