The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When there happeneth the Event. 1 no soul will deny its coming. 2 Abasing exalting. 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 And you shall be three sorts. 7 Those of the right hand -- how (happy) will be those of the right hand! 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 And the preceders are the preceders. 10 These will be those nearest to Allah. 11 In gardens of delight; 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 And a few of later ages, 14 On thrones woven [with ornament], 15 reclining upon them, set face to face, 16 (and there) shall wait on them immortal youths 17 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring - 18 Unheady, uninebriating; 19 And fruit of what they select 20 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 never-ending and unrestricted, 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
