In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- When the event inevitable cometh to pass.
- Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.
- (Many) will it bring low (many) will it exalt;
- When the earth shall be shaken to its depths
- And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms
- Becoming dust scattered abroad
- And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
- Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
- And the Companions of the left hand what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
- And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
- These will be those Nearest to Allah:
- In Gardens of Bliss:
- A number of people from those of old
- And a few from those of later times.
- (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones).
- Reclining on them facing each other.
- Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness).
- With goblets (shining) beakers and cups (filled) out of clear- flowing fountains:
- No after-ache will they receive therefrom nor will they suffer intoxication:
- And with fruits any that they may select;
- And the flesh of fowls any that they may desire.
- And (there will be) Companions with beautiful big and lustrous eyes- -
- Like unto Pearls well-guarded.
- A Reward for the Deeds of their past (Life).
- No frivolity will they hear therein nor any taint of ill
