**1. When the Event (the Day of Resurrection) befalls,**

**2. There is no denying its befalling.**

**3. It will bring low (some) and raise (others).**

**4. When the earth will be shaken with a severe shaking.**

**5. And the mountains will be crushed to powder,**

**6. Becoming scattered dust.**

**7. And you will be three kinds:**

**8. Those on the Right Hand (i.e., the Blessed).**

**9. Those on the Left Hand (i.e., the Wretched).**

**10. And those foremost (in Faith) will be foremost (in Paradise).**

**11. These are they who will be brought near (to Allah).**

**12. In Gardens of Delight.**

**13. A number of people from those of old,**

**14. And a few from those of later times.**

**15. On thrones woven with gold and precious stones,**

**16. Reclining on them, facing each other.**

**17. There will circulate among them [servant] boys especially for them,**

**18. With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine.**

**19. No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated.**

**20. And fruit of what they select,**

**21. And the meat of fowl from whatever they desire.**

**22. And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,**

**23. The likenesses of pearls well-protected.**

**24. As reward for what they used to do.**

**25. They will not hear therein any ill speech or commission of sin—**

**26. Only a saying: "Peace, peace."**

**27. The companions of the right—what are the companions of the right?**

**28. [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed,**

**29. And [banana] trees layered [with fruit],**

**30. And shade extended,**

**31. And water flowing constantly,**

**32. And fruit in abundance,**

**33. Whose season is not limited, nor are they out of reach.**

**34. And upon beds raised high.**

**35. Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation.**

**36. And made them virgins,**

**37. Devoted to their husbands and of equal age.**

**38. For the companions of the right hand.**

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1. The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split.

2. Yet whenever they see a miracle, they turn away, and say, “Continuous magic.”

3. They lied, and followed their opinions, but everything has its time.

4. And there came to them news containing a deterrent.

5. Profound wisdom—but warnings are of no avail.

6. So turn away from them. On the Day when the Caller calls to something terrible.

7. Their eyes humiliated, they will emerge from the graves, as if they were swarming locusts.

8. Scrambling towards the Caller, the disbelievers will say, “This is a difficult Day.”

9. Before them the people of Noah disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, and said, “Crazy,” and he was rebuked.

10. So he appealed to his Lord, “I am overwhelmed, so help me.”

11. So We opened the floodgates of heaven with water pouring down.

12. And We made the earth burst with springs, and the waters met for a purpose already destined.

13. And We carried him on a craft of planks and nails.

14. Sailing before Our eyes; a reward for him who was rejected.

15. And We left it as a sign. Is there anyone who would take heed?

16. So how were My punishment and My warnings?

17. We made the Quran easy to learn. Is there anyone who would learn?

18. Aad denied the truth. So how were My punishment and My warnings?

19. We unleashed upon them a screaming wind, on a day of unrelenting misery.

20. Plucking the people away, as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees.

21. So how were My punishment and My warnings?

22. We made the Quran easy to remember. Is there anyone who would remember?
