The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Event will come to pass 1 There is about its happening no lie. 2 abasing [some,] exalting [others]! 3 When the earth is shaken with a shaking [severe,] 4 and the mountains fragmented 5 And become dust dispersing. 6 And ye are classes three. 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 And the People on the Left: and how miserable will be the People on the Left! 9 And the forerunners, the forerunners - 10 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), 11 in the Gardens of Bliss. 12 Many of them will be from the ancient people 13 but [only] a few of later times. 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 Reclining on them, facing each other. 16 Surrounded by immortal boys. 17 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: 18 a drink by which their minds will not be clouded nor will it cause drunkenness; 19 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice 20 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. 21 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes 22 The likes unto pearls hidden. 23 shall be their recompense for their deeds. 24 There they shall hear no idle talk nor any sinful speech. 25 only the words of peace and tranquillity. 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 Amid thornless lote-trees, 28 Bananatrees, piled 29 And in everlasting shade. 30 And in perpetually flowing water. 31 and fruits abounding 32 unfailing, unforbidden, 33 And on couches or thrones, raised high. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 and made them virgins, 36 chaste, loving companions of the same age 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
