The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 The event will be abasing some, and exalting some. 3 When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 4 and the mountains crumbled, 5 becoming scattered dust, 6 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah] 11 In Gardens of Bliss: 12 a large group of the early believers, 13 and only a few of them from the later generations. 14 On thrones woven [with ornament], 15 Reclining on them, facing one another. 16 they will be waited on by ageless youths 17 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: 18 (no brows throbbing, no intoxication) 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 21 And there will be fair ones large eyed. 22 like hidden pearls, 23 a recompense for that they laboured. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 Nought but 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 will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, 28 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit] 29 and shade extended, 30 and flowing water, 31 And fruit in plenty, 32 never-failing and never out of reach. 33 And maidens incomparable. 34 Indeed We formed them (the houris and all believing women), 35 And made them virginal, 36 chastely amorous, 37 For the Companions of the Right Hand. 38
