Sura Al-Waqi'ah from 17 to 50


17. Immortal boys will go around them ( serving ) ,
18. With cups, and jugs, and a glass of flowing wine,
19. Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication.
20. And with fruit that they may choose.
21. And with the flesh of fowls that they desire.
22. And ( there will be ) Hûr ( fair females ) with wide, lovely eyes ( as wives for « Al- Muttaqûn » - the pious - See V. 2:2 ) ,
23. Like unto preserved pearls.
24. A reward for what they used to do.
25. No Laghw ( dirty, false, evil vain talk ) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech ( like backbiting ) .
26. But only the saying of: Salâm! Salâm! ( greetings with peace ) ! [ 1 ]
27. And those on the Right Hand - how ( fortunate ) will be those on the Right Hand?
28. ( They will be ) among thornless lote- trees,
29. And among Talh ( banana- trees ) with fruits piled one above another,
30. And in shade long- extended,
31. And by water flowing constantly,
32. And fruit in plenty,
33. Whose supply is not cut off ( by change of season ) , nor are they out of reach,
34. And on couches or thrones, raised high.
35. Verily, We have created them ( maidens ) of special creation.
36. And made them virgins.
37. Loving ( their husbands only ) , ( and ) of equal age.
38. For those on the Right Hand.
39. A multitude of those ( on the Right Hand ) will be from the first generation ( who embraced Islâm ) .
40. And a multitude of those ( on the Right Hand ) will be from the later generations.
41. And those on the Left Hand - how ( unfortunate ) will be those on the Left Hand?
42. In fierce hot wind and boiling water,
43. And shadow of black smoke,
44. ( That shadow ) neither cool, nor ( even ) pleasant,
45. Verily, before that, they indulged in luxury,
46. And were persisting in great sin ( joining partners in worship along with Allâh, committing murder and other crimes ) [ 2 ]
47. And they used to say: « When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be resurrected?»
48. « And also our forefathers? »
49. Say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) : « ( Yes ) verily, those of old, and those of later times.»
50. « All will surely be gathered together for appointed Meeting of a known Day.»
