The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Terror descends 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]. 3 When the earth is shaken violently, 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 You shall then become three groups. 7 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! 8 And those on the left hand; how miserable shall those on the left hand be! 9 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race: 10 Who will be honoured 11 In gardens of bliss [will they dwell] 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 And a few of later ages, 14 [They will be seated] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 Youths of never-ending bloom will pass round to them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and cups filled with water from unsullied springs 18 that will neither make the head throb, nor intoxicate, 19 along with fruits of their choice; 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 The likenesses of pearls well-protected, 23 The reward for what they did. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 And shade extended 30 And water everflowing. 31 And fruit abundant. 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 And made them virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
