Al Qamar

1 Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.

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

3 Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun

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

4 Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun

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

5 Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru

5 Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.

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

7 KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun

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

11 Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin

11 Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water

12 Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira

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

13 Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

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

14 Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira

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

15 Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

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

24 Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin

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.

25 Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun

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

26 SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru

42 Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin

43 Akuffarukum khayrun min olaikum am lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi

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

44 Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun

44 Or say they: We are a host victorious ?

45 Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura
