The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt; 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 Thus, there shall be such as will have attained to what is right: oh, how [happy] will be they who have attained to what is right! 8 And those on the left hand; how miserable shall those on the left hand be! 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 They are in Gardens of peace. 12 a host of the ancients 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 upon close-wrought couches 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: 19 And fruit of what they select 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.). 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 The Companions of the Right 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And clusters of banana plants. 29 And extended shade, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 and abundant fruits, 32 never-failing and never out of reach. 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 Perfectly We formed them, perfect, 35 We have made them virgins, 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
