(As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). 9 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. 10 These will be those Nearest to Allah: 11 in the Gardens of Delight 12 a host of the ancients 13 And a few of the later peoples, 14 On couches wrought of gold, 15 facing one another. 16 Immortal youths will wait upon them 17 With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, 18 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - 19 they will also go about them with the fruits of which they may choose, 20 And the flesh of fowls that they desire. 21 And pure, beautiful ones, 22 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. 23 All this shall be theirs as a reward for their deeds. 24 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination 25 Only a saying: "Peace, peace." 26 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! 27 They will live amid the thornless lot trees 28 and acacias flower-clad, 29 In shade long-extended, 30 and gushing water, 31 And plenty of fruits. 32 undiminished and never denied 33 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. 34 and the noble maidens that We have created 35 Then We have made them virgins, 36 Loving, equals in age, 37 For those on the right. 38
