Al Qamar

Shakir

1 The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.

Shakir

2 And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.

Shakir

3 And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.

Shakir

4 And certainly some narratives have come to them wherein is prevention - -

Shakir

5 Consummate wisdom - - but warnings do not avail;

Shakir

6 So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when the inviter shall invite them to a hard task,

Shakir

7 Their eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts,

Shakir

8 Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.

Shakir

9 Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.

Shakir

10 Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help.

Shakir

11 So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring

Shakir

12 And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained.

Shakir

13 And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails

Shakir

14 Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who was denied.

Shakir

15 And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who

Shakir

16 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!

Shakir

17 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

Shakir

18 Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was My punishment and My warning!

Shakir

19 Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitter ill - luck

Shakir

20 Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm - trees torn up.

Shakir

21 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!

Shakir

22 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

Shakir

23 Samood rejected the warning.

Shakir

24 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:

Shakir

25 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!

Shakir

26 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one.

Shakir

27 Surely We are going to send the she - camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience.

Shakir

28 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated.

Shakir

29 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her).

Shakir

30 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!

Shakir

31 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects.

Shakir

32 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

Shakir

33 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie.

Shakir

34 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak,

Shakir

35 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks.

Shakir

36 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning.

Shakir

37 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning.

Shakir

38 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning.

Shakir

39 So taste My chastisement and My warning.

Shakir

40 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

Shakir

41 And certainly the warning came to Firon's people.

Shakir

42 They rejected all Our communications, so We overtook them after the manner of a Mighty, Powerful One.

Shakir

43 Are the unbelievers of yours better than these, or is there an exemption for you in the scriptures?

Shakir

44 Or do they say: We are a host allied together to help each other?

Shakir

45 Soon shall the hosts be routed, and they shall turn (their) backs.

Shakir

46 Nay, the hour is their promised time, and the hour shall be most grievous and bitter.

Shakir

47 Surely the guilty are in error and distress.

Shakir

48 On the day when they shall be dragged upon their faces into the fire; taste the touch of hell.

Shakir

49 Surely We have created everything according to a measure.

Shakir

50 And Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.

Shakir

51 And certainly We have already destroyed the likes of you, but is there anyone who will mind?

Shakir

52 And everything they have done is in the writings.

Shakir

53 And everything small and great is written down.

Shakir

54 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and rivers,

Shakir

55 In the seat of honor with a most Powerful King.
