Chapter 56, Page 535, Juz 27

1. When the Inevitable Event takes place, 2. then no one can deny it has come. 3. It will debase ˹some˺ and elevate ˹others˺. 4. When the earth will be violently shaken, 5. and the mountains will be crushed to pieces, 6. becoming scattered ˹particles of˺ dust, 7. you will ˹all˺ be ˹divided into˺ three groups: 8. the people of the right, how ˹blessed˺ will they be; 9. the people of the left, how ˹miserable˺ will they be; 10. and the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺. 11. They are the ones nearest ˹to Allah˺, 12. in the Gardens of Bliss. 13. ˹They will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations 14. and a few from later generations. 15. ˹All will be˺ on jewelled thrones, 16. reclining face to face. 17. They will be waited on by eternal youths 18. with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream, 19. that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication. 20. ˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose 21. and meat from any bird they desire. 22. And ˹they will have˺ maidens with gorgeous eyes, 23. like pristine pearls, 24. ˹all˺ as a reward for what they used to do. 25. There they will never hear any idle or sinful talk— 26. only good and virtuous speech.
