O Allah, I seek refuge in you from the accursed Satan
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
When the Inevitable Event takes place,
then no one can deny it has come.
It will debase ˹some˺ and elevate ˹others˺.1

and the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺.
They are the ones nearest ˹to Allah˺,
in the Gardens of Bliss.
˹They will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
and a few from later generations.
˹All will be˺ on jewelled thrones,
reclining face to face.
They will be waited on by eternal youths
with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream,
that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.
˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose
and meat from any bird they desire.
And ˹they will have˺ maidens with gorgeous eyes,
like pristine pearls,
˹all˺ as a reward for what they used to do.

only good and virtuous speech.1
And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be!
˹They will be˺ amid thornless lote trees,
clusters of bananas,
extended shade,
