:2. Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.
:3. (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;
:4. When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,
:5. And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,
:6. Becoming dust scattered abroad,
:7. And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
:8. Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
:9. And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
:10. And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
:11. These will be those Nearest to Allah:
:12. In Gardens of Bliss:
:13. A number of people from those of old,
:14. And a few from those of later times.
:15. (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones),
:16. Reclining on them, facing each other.
