The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth is shaken with a shock 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 So that they become a scattered dust, 6 And you (all) will be in three kinds (i.e. separate groups). 7 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! 8 And the People on the Left: and how miserable will be the People on the Left! 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 It is they who are the close ones. 11 in the Gardens of Delight, 12 a good many of those of olden times, 13 and a few from later times. 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 There wait on them immortal youths 17 With goblets and ewers and a cup of limpid drink. 18 Whereby there shall be neither headiness nor will they be inebriated. 19 And fruit; that they may choose. 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 and wide-eyed houris 22 like the pearls in their shells: 23 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). 24 No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 And the fellows on the right hand; how be happy shall the fellows on the right hand be! 27 They shall be in the midst of thornless lote trees, 28 And clustered plantains, 29 and amid the extended shade 30 and flowing water 31 And fruit abundant. 32 That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped. 33 And carpets raised. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 having resurrected them as virgins, 36 The beloved of their husbands, of one age. 37 For the sake of the companions of the right hand. 38
