AL-WAQYAH (THE EVENT, THE INEVITABLE)

Total Verses: 96
Revealed At: MAKKA

When the great event comes to pass,

There is no belying its coming to pass--

Abasing (one party), exalting (the other),

When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking,

And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling,

So that they shall be as scattered dust.

And you shall be three sorts.

Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!

And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand!

-Al-Waqyah 56.01-09
