The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 Which is bound to happen undoubtedly -- 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 and the mountains are shattered into [countless] shards, 5 So they will become like fine dust, scattered in a shaft of light. 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 And those on the left hand; how miserable shall those on the left hand be! 9 But the foremost shall be [they who in life were] the foremost [in faith and good works]: 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 And a few from those of later times. 14 On studded thrones. 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 Carrying bowls and pitchers – and cups filled with wine flowing before them. 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 Like pearls within their shells, 23 As reward for what they used to do. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 The Companions of the Right 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and extended shade, 30 And water everflowing. 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 loving and of equal age. 37 for those on the Right, 38
