Chapter 54, 55 verses
The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اقتربت الساعة وانشق القمر
Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.
وإن يروا آية يعرضوا ويقولوا سحر مستمر
Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.
وكذبوا واتبعوا أهواءهم ۚ وكل أمر مستقر
Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
And certainly some narratives have come to them wherein is prevention - -
ولقد جاءهم من الأنباء ما فيه مزدجر
Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Consummate wisdom - - but warnings do not avail;
حكمة بالغة ۖ فما تغن النذر
Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when the inviter shall invite them to a hard task,
فتول عنهم ۘ يوم يدع الداع إلى شيء نكر
Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
Their eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts,
خشعا أبصارهم يخرجون من الأجداث كأنهم جراد منتشر
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ
Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.
مهطعين إلى الداع ۖ يقول الكافرون هذا يوم عسر
MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun
مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ
Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.
۞ كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح فكذبوا عبدنا وقالوا مجنون وازدجر
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ
Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help.
فدعا ربه أني مغلوب فانتصر
FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ
So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring
ففتحنا أبواب السماء بماء منهمر
Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin
فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ
And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained.
وفجرنا الأرض عيونا فالتقى الماء على أمر قد قدر
Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira
وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails
وحملناه على ذات ألواح ودسر
Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin
وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who was denied.
تجري بأعيننا جزاء لمن كان كفر
Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira
تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who
ولقد تركناها آية فهل من مدكر
Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was My punishment and My warning!
كذبت عاد فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitter ill - luck
إنا أرسلنا عليهم ريحا صرصرا في يوم نحس مستمر
Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ
Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm - trees torn up.
تنزع الناس كأنهم أعجاز نخل منقعر
TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ
How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
Samood rejected the warning.
كذبت ثمود بالنذر
Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress:
فقالوا أبشرا منا واحدا نتبعه إنا إذا لفي ضلال وسعر
Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin
فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!
أألقي الذكر عليه من بيننا بل هو كذاب أشر
Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun
أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one.
سيعلمون غدا من الكذاب الأشر
SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru
سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
Surely We are going to send the she - camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience.
إنا مرسلو الناقة فتنة لهم فارتقبهم واصطبر
Inna mursiloo alnnaqati fitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir
إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ
And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated.
ونبئهم أن الماء قسمة بينهم ۖ كل شرب محتضر
Wanabbihum anna almaa qismatun baynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ
But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her).
فنادوا صاحبهم فتعاطى فعقر
Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAata faAAaqara
فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ
How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects.
إنا أرسلنا عليهم صيحة واحدة فكانوا كهشيم المحتظر
Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatan wahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ
And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie.
كذبت قوم لوط بالنذر
Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak,
إنا أرسلنا عليهم حاصبا إلا آل لوط ۖ نجيناهم بسحر
Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ نَّجَّيْنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٍ
A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks.
نعمة من عندنا ۚ كذلك نجزي من شكر
NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara
نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ
And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning.
ولقد أنذرهم بطشتنا فتماروا بالنذر
Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri
وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning.
ولقد راودوه عن ضيفه فطمسنا أعينهم فذوقوا عذابي ونذر
Walaqad rawadoohu AAan dayfihi fatamasna aAAyunahum fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri
وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning.
ولقد صبحهم بكرة عذاب مستقر
Walaqad sabbahahum bukratan AAathabun mustaqirrun
وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
So taste My chastisement and My warning.
فذوقوا عذابي ونذر
Fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri
فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ

And certainly the warning came to Firon's people.
ولقد جاء آل فرعون النذر
Walaqad jaa ala firAAawna alnnuthuru
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ
They rejected all Our communications, so We overtook them after the manner of a Mighty, Powerful One.
كذبوا بآياتنا كلها فأخذناهم أخذ عزيز مقتدر
Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin
كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
Are the unbelievers of yours better than these, or is there an exemption for you in the scriptures?
أكفاركم خير من أولئكم أم لكم براءة في الزبر
Akuffarukum khayrun min olaikum am lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi
أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ
Or do they say: We are a host allied together to help each other?
أم يقولون نحن جميع منتصر
Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ
Soon shall the hosts be routed, and they shall turn (their) backs.
سيهزم الجمع ويولون الدبر
Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura
سَيُهْزَمُ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ
Nay, the hour is their promised time, and the hour shall be most grievous and bitter.
بل الساعة موعدهم والساعة أدهى وأمر
Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru
بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ
Surely the guilty are in error and distress.
إن المجرمين في ضلال وسعر
Inna almujrimeena fee dalalin wasuAAurin
إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
On the day when they shall be dragged upon their faces into the fire; taste the touch of hell.
يوم يسحبون في النار على وجوههم ذوقوا مس سقر
Yawma yushaboona fee alnnari AAala wujoohihim thooqoo massa saqara
يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ
Surely We have created everything according to a measure.
إنا كل شيء خلقناه بقدر
Inna kulla shayin khalaqnahu biqadarin
إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ
And Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.
وما أمرنا إلا واحدة كلمح بالبصر
Wama amruna illa wahidatun kalamhin bialbasari
وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍۭ بِٱلْبَصَرِ
And certainly We have already destroyed the likes of you, but is there anyone who will mind?
ولقد أهلكنا أشياعكم فهل من مدكر
Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakum fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
And everything they have done is in the writings.
وكل شيء فعلوه في الزبر
Wakullu shayin faAAaloohu fee alzzuburi
وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ
And everything small and great is written down.
وكل صغير وكبير مستطر
Wakullu sagheerin wakabeerin mustatarun
وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and rivers,
إن المتقين في جنات ونهر
Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaharin
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَهَرٍ
In the seat of honor with a most Powerful King.
في مقعد صدق عند مليك مقتدر
Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekin muqtadirin
فِى مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍۭ
