The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the Occurrence occurs, 1 there is no denying its coming 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe,] 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 [on that Day,] then, shall you be [divided into] three kinds. 7 Those on the right hand; how happy shall those on the right hand be! 8 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? 9 And those who surpassed have indeed excelled. 10 Those are they who will be brought nigh 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 A multitude from the ancients. 13 and how few of the later folk) 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 reclining on them, arrayed face to face; 16 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), 17 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, 18 Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses. 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. 21 And pure, beautiful ones, 22 beautiful as pearls hidden in their shells. 23 A reward for what they used to do. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 And extended shade, 30 By water flowing constantly, 31 and abundant fruit, 32 Neither ending nor forbidden. 33 on raised couches. 34 Verily We! We have created those maidens by a creation. 35 and shall have made them virgins, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For the Companions of the Right Hand. 38
