The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ When the event befalleth - 1 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. 2 abasing, exalting, 3 When the earth will tremble, shivering. 4 and the mountains fragmented 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 And ye will be three kinds: 7 So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands), Who will be those on the Right Hand? (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). 8 Then those of the left hand -- how (unhappy) will be those of the left hand! 9 And the Outstrippers, the Outstrippers 10 They shall be near-stationed (to their Lord), 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 A multitude from the ancients. 13 and a few from later times. 14 On lined couches, 15 Reclining therein face to face. 16 There wait on them immortal youths 17 Carrying bowls and pitchers – and cups filled with wine flowing before them. 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 and such fruits as they shall choose, 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And wide eyed houris 22 Like unto preserved pearls. 23 [And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. 24 Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, 25 All talk will be sound and upright. 26 The Companions of the Right 27 Among thorn-less lote-trees. 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 And a shade ever-spread. 30 and waters gushing, 31 And fruit in plenty 32 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, 35 We have made them virgins, 36 full of love, well-matched 37 like of age for the Companions of the Right. 38
