Surah 56 Wāqi‘a, or The Inevitable Event. Section 1 “When the Event Inevitable Comes 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 God: In Gardens of Bliss: A number of people From those of old, And a few from those Of later times.” “A Reward for the Deeds Of their past (Life). No frivolity will they Hear therein, nor any Taint of ill, Only the saying, ‘Peace! Peace.’”“The Companions of The Right Hand, What will be The Companions of The Right Hand? (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, Among Ṭalḥ (a type of Acacia) trees With flowers (or fruits) Piled one above another, In shade long-extended, By water flowing constantly, And fruit in abundance. Whose season is not limited, Nor (supply) forbidden, And on Thrones (of Dignity), Raised high.”Section 2 “The Companions of The Left Hand, What will be The Companions of The Left Hand? (They will be) in the midst Of a fierce Blast of Fire And in Boiling Water, And in the shades Of Black Smoke: Nothing (will there be) To refresh, nor to please: For that they were accustomed To be indulged, before that, In wealth (and luxury), And persisted obstinately In wickedness supreme!”Section 3 “Thus, then, if he Be of those Nearest to God, (There is for him) Rest And Satisfaction, and A Garden of Delights. And if he be Of the Companions of The Right Hand, (For him is the salutation), ‘Peace be unto thee,’ From the Companions Of the Right Hand. So celebrate with praises The name of thy Lord, The Supreme.”
