The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the forthcoming event does occur. 1 (and none denies its descending) 2 (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down: 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 and the mountains fragmented 5 Turned to dust, floating in the air, 6 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 8 And those on the left hand; how miserable shall those on the left hand be! 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A multitude from the ancients. 13 and a lesser number from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 And fruit that they prefer 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 The reward for what they did. 24 No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.). 25 But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)! 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 and shade extended, 30 And water gushing, 31 and fruit abounding, 32 never-failing and never out of reach. 33 And couches raised up. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 and made them virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
