The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 there is no denying its coming 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 When the earth is shaken with convulsion 4 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, 5 Turned to dust, floating in the air, 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on 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 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: 12 A number of the earlier peoples, 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 on lavish couches 15 they shall recline, facing each other, 16 There wait on them immortal youths 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses. 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 like hidden pearls, 23 As reward for what they used to do. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns 28 and serried acacias, 29 and shade extended, 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 And fruits numberless, 32 Whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 Indeed We formed them (the houris and all believing women), 35 And have made them virgins. 36 Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
