The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When there happeneth the Event. 1 and there can be no denying its happening, 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? 8 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 in the Gardens of Bliss. 12 A number of people from those of old, 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 [They will be seated] on gold-encrusted thrones of happiness, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of limpid drink. 18 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; 19 And such fruits as they fancy, 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, 22 The likenesses of pearls well-protected, 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 Only the 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 thornless lote-trees, 28 and serried acacias, 29 And a shade ever-spread. 30 And water everflowing. 31 and an abundance of fruits, 32 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, 33 And exalted thrones. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 And made them virgins, 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
