The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When there happeneth the Event. 1 – and then there will be no one to deny its occurrence – 2 Abasing exalting. 3 When the earth is shaken 4 And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits. 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And the foremost are the foremost, 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 And fruit of what they select 20 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire. 21 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 Therein they hear no vain or sinful discourse. 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 NOW AS FOR those who have attained to righteousness - what of those who have attained to righteousness? 27 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 and amid the extended shade 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 and an abundance of fruits, 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 And on couches or thrones, raised high. 34 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, 35 So made them as maidens. 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 For those on the right. 38
