The Inevitable (Al-Waaqe'ah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ When the Event (the resurrection) comes 1 There is no denying that it will befall - 2 The event will be abasing some, and exalting some. 3 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, 4 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces 5 So that they become dust seattered. 6 And you shall be three sorts. 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 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! 9 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. 10 those are they brought nigh the Throne, 11 In the Gardens of Pleasure, 12 Many of them will be from the ancient people 13 And a few from among the latter. 14 On couches in wrought with gold. 15 facing one another. 16 Immortal youths will serve them 17 with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring 18 that will neither make the head throb, nor intoxicate, 19 And with fruits, any that they may select: 20 and such flesh of fowl as they desire, 21 And wide eyed houris 22 like hidden pearls, 23 As recompense for all they had done. 24 They will not hear therein any vain or sinful talk, 25 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". 26 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? 27 They will be in (the shade) of thornless lote 28 and serried acacias, 29 and spreading shade 30 and outpoured waters, 31 And fruits numberless, 32 undiminished and never denied 33 They shall be on upraised couches, 34 We have created maidens perfectly 35 We have made them virgins, 36 Loving companions matched in age, 37 For the fellows on the right hand. 38
