The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt; 3 When the earth is violently shaken 4 And the mountains are crumbled, crumbled. 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. 7 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be 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 Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 In Gardens of Delight. 12 A large group from the earlier generations. 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones, 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 with goblets and ewers and a cup filled with a drink drawn from a running spring, 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 with fruits of their own choice 20 and with the flesh of any fowl that they may desire to eat; 21 And gorgeous eyed fair maidens. 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 shall be their recompense for their deeds. 24 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, 25 Except the word peace, peace. 26 And those on the Right Hand, Who will be those on the Right Hand? 27 Midst lote-trees thornless. 28 and flower-clad acacias, 29 and continuous shade, 30 and flowing water, 31 And fruit, abundant [and varied], 32 undiminished and never denied 33 on raised couches. 34 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, 35 and made them virgins, 36 Lovers, friends, 37 for the Companions of the Right 38
