Al Qamar

1 Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru

1 The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

2 Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun

2 And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

3 Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun

3 And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.

4 Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun

4 And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -

5 Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru

5 Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].

6 Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin

6 So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,

7 KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun

7 Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

8 MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun

8 Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

9 Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira

9 The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.

10 FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir

10 So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

11 Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin

11 Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

12 Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira

12 And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.

13 Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

13 And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,

14 Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira

14 Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.

15 Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

15 And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?

16 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

16 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

17 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

18 'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

19 Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin

19 Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,

20 TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin

20 Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.

21 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

21 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

22 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

23 Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri

23 Thamud denied the warning

24 Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin

24 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.

25 Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun

25 Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."

26 SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru

26 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.

27 Inna mursiloo alnnaqati fitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir

27 Indeed, We are sending the she - camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.

28 Wanabbihum anna almaa qismatun baynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun

28 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].

29 Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAata faAAaqara

29 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

30 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

30 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

31 Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatan wahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri

31 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

32 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

32 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

33 Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri

33 The people of Lot denied the warning.

34 Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin

34 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

35 NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara

35 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.

36 Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri

36 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.

37 Walaqad rawadoohu AAan dayfihi fatamasna aAAyunahum fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

37 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."

38 Walaqad sabbahahum bukratan AAathabun mustaqirrun

38 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.

39 Fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

39 So taste My punishment and warning.

40 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

40 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

41 Walaqad jaa ala firAAawna alnnuthuru

41 And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.

42 Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin

42 They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.

43 Akuffarukum khayrun min olaikum am lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi

43 Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture?

44 Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun

44 Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?

45 Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura

45 [Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].

46 Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru

46 But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.

47 Inna almujrimeena fee dalalin wasuAAurin

47 Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.

48 Yawma yushaboona fee alnnari AAala wujoohihim thooqoo massa saqara

50 And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.

51 Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakum fahal min muddakirin

51 And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?

52 Wakullu shayin faAAaloohu fee alzzuburi

52 And everything they did is in written records.

53 Wakullu sagheerin wakabeerin mustatarun

53 And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

54 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaharin

54 Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,

55 Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekin muqtadirin

55 In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.
