The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 There is no denying that it will befall - 2 The event will be abasing some, and exalting some. 3 When the earth is shaken 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 You will become three categories: 7 Those of the right hand -- how (happy) will be those of the right hand! 8 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! 9 And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise). 10 those are they brought near (to their Lord) 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 A numerous company from among the first, 13 And a few of those of later time. 14 On lined couches, 15 Reclining face to face. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 Bird meats that they relish, 21 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, 22 as the likeness of hidden pearls, 23 A recompense for that which they have been working. 24 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 The Companions of the Right 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 And spreading shade, 30 and flowing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, 33 And carpets raised. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 and made them virgins, 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 All this will be for the People on the Right; 38
