Al-Qamar The Moon

ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ ۝١

54:1 The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ ۝٢

54:2 And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ ۝٣

54:3 They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ۝٤

54:4 And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,

حِكْمَةٌۢ بَـٰلِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

54:5 Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

54:6 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.

خُشَّعًا أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ ۝٧

54:7 With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad,

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ۝٨

54:8 Hastening toward the summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a hard day.

۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ ۝٩

54:9 The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ ۝١٠

54:10 So he cried unto his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help.

فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ ۝١١

54:11 Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water

وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ ۝١٢

54:12 And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose.

وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ ۝١٣

54:13 And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails,

تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ۝١٤

54:14 That ran (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected.

وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَـٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝١٥

54:15 And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that remembereth?

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝١٦

54:16 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝١٧

54:17 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝١٨

54:18 (The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ ۝١٩

54:19 Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity,

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ ۝٢٠

54:20 Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm-trees.

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٢١

54:21 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٢٢

54:22 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٢٣

54:23 (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٢٤

54:24 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness.

أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ ۝٢٥

54:25 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar.

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ ۝٢٦

54:26 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar.

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ ۝٢٧

54:27 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience;

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ ۝٢٨

54:28 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.

فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ۝٢٩

54:29 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her).

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٠

54:30 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ ۝٣١

54:31 Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٣٢

54:32 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٣٣

54:33 The folk of Lot rejected warnings.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَـٰهُم بِسَحَرٍ ۝٣٤

54:34 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night,

نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ ۝٣٥

54:35 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks.

وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٣٦

54:36 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings.

وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٧

54:37 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings!

وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ ۝٣٨

54:38 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning.

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٩

54:39 Now taste My punishment after My warnings!

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٤٠

54:40 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٤١

54:41 And warnings came in truth unto the house of Pharaoh

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ۝٤٢

54:42 Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.

أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٤٣

54:43 Are your disbelievers better than those, or have ye some immunity in the scriptures?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ ۝٤٤

54:44 Or say they: We are a host victorious?

سَيُهْزَمُ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ۝٤٥

54:45 The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee.

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ۝٤٦

54:46 Nay, but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure).

إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٤٧

54:47 Lo! the guilty are in error and madness.

يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ۝٤٨

54:48 On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell.

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ ۝٤٩

54:49 Lo! We have created every thing by measure.

وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍۭ بِٱلْبَصَرِ ۝٥٠

54:50 And Our commandment is but one (commandment), as the twinkling of an eye.

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٥١

54:51 And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembereth?

وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٥٢

54:52 And every thing they did is in the scriptures,

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ ۝٥٣

54:53 And every small and great thing is recorded.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَنَهَرٍ ۝٥٤

54:54 Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers,

فِى مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍۭ ۝٥٥

54:55 Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King.
