The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the inevitable event takes place, 1 Then none will be able to deny its occurrence. 2 some shall be abased and others exalted. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, 5 and will scatter abroad into fine dust. 6 You shall then become three groups. 7 So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right! 8 And those on the left hand; how miserable shall those on the left hand be! 9 But the foremost shall be [they who in life were] the foremost [in faith and good works]: 10 These will be those nearest to Allah. 11 In the gardens of bliss. 12 A multitude from the ancients. 13 And a few from the latter. 14 on lavish couches 15 Reclining thereon, face to face. 16 (and there) shall wait on them immortal youths 17 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine 18 Unheady, uninebriating; 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. 21 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, 22 Like pearls safely hidden. 23 a recompense for all that they did. 24 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- 25 but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace' 26 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! 27 mid thornless lote-trees 28 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. 29 And in everlasting shade. 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 And fruit in plenty, 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And carpets raised. 34 Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. 35 and We made them spotless virgins, 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
