The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 1 And there can be no denying of its befalling. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 Becoming dust scattered abroad, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be! 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few from the later generations. 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 There wait on them immortal youths 17 With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace. 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And clusters of banana plants. 29 and spreading shade 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 and upraised couches. 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - 36 Loving, of equal age. 37 For those on the right. 38
