The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 Which is bound to happen undoubtedly -- 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe,] 4 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, 5 So that they will become floating dust particles. 6 You will become three categories: 7 Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? 8 And there shall be such as will have lost themselves in evil: oh, how [unhappy] will be they who have lost themselves in evil! 9 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 In the Gardens of delight (Paradise). 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 and a few from later times. 14 On lined couches, 15 facing one another. 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 19 And with fruit from that which they choose. 20 And flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 The reward for what they did. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 And those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 27 They will live amid the thornless lot trees 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 And shade extended 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 and fruit abounding, 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 on raised couches. 34 Indeed We formed them (the houris and all believing women), 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
