The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 Abasing exalting. 3 when the earth shall be rocked 4 And the hills are ground to powder 5 and become a dust, scattered, 6 and you shall be three bands -- 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 – how (wretched) are those on the left! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 in the beautiful Paradise. 12 A throng of the ancients, 13 And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations). 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 Carrying bowls and pitchers – and cups filled with wine flowing before them. 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 And fruit that they prefer 20 And with flesh of fowls from that which they desire. 21 and there shall be wide-eyed maidens, 22 like unto pearls [still] hidden in their shells. 23 as reward for their deeds. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". 26 And the fellows on the right hand; how be happy shall the fellows on the right hand be! 27 [They, too, will find themselves] amidst fruit laden lote-trees, 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 Lengthened shadows, 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 and fruit abounding, 32 unfailing, unforbidden, 33 And carpets raised. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 So made them as maidens. 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 with those who have attained to righteousness: 38
