When the inevitable event comes,
2
no soul will deny its coming.
3
It will abase some and exalt others.
4
When the earth is violently shaken
5
and the mountains crumbled,
6
they will become like dust scattered around.
7
On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups:
8
The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be!
9
The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be!
10
The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward.
11
(The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God
12
in the beautiful Paradise.
13
Many of them will be from the ancient people
14
and only a few of them from the later generations.
15
They will recline on jewelled couches
17
Immortal youths will serve them
18
with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine
19
which will not cause them any intoxication or illness.
20
Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice
21
and the flesh of birds, as they desire.
22
They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes,
23
like pearls preserved in their shells,
24
as reward for their deeds.
25
They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful talk
26
except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you".
27
As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be!
28
They will live amid the thornless lot trees
30
with fruits piled up one on the other,
