The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 Which is bound to happen undoubtedly -- 2 Abasing (some), exalting (others); 3 when the earth will suddenly shake with a terrible shaking, 4 and the mountains are shattered into [countless] shards, 5 and become like scattered dust particles, 6 And you become [of] three kinds: 7 The People on the Right: and how fortunate will be the People on the Right! 8 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 As for the Foremost, they will be the foremost! 10 they who were [always] drawn close unto God! 11 They are in Gardens of peace. 12 A large group from the earlier generations. 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring - 18 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, 19 And such fruits as they fancy, 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 And [with them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, 22 Like unto hidden pearls, 23 a recompense for all that they did. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 Other than "Peace, peace" the salutation. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 (will be) among thornless Lote trees. 28 And plantains laden with fruit. 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and flowing water, 31 and abundant fruits, 32 Neither intercepted nor forbidden, 33 And [upon] beds raised high. 34 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. 37 for the people of the right hand 38
