The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 there is no denying its coming 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 Becoming dust scattered abroad, 6 You shall then become three groups. 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A [large] company of the former peoples 13 And a few of later ages, 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 The like of the hidden pearls: 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin. 25 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 And acacia covered with heaps of bloom, 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 And water poured out 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 Unending, unforbidden, 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 And have made them virgins. 36 Loving companions matched in age, 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
