Al Qamar

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

2 And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

3 They belied (the Verses of Allah - this Qur'an), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled (according to the kind of deeds: good deeds will take their doers to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

4 And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur'an) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil),

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

5 Perfect wisdom (this Qur'an), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

6 So (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) withdraw from them. The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

7 They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

8 Hastening towards the caller. The disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

9 The people of Nuh (Noah) denied (their Messenger) before them. They rejected Our slave, and said: "A madman!" and he was insolently rebuked and threatened.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

10 Then he invoked his Lord (saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

11 So We opened the gates of the heaven with water pouring forth.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

12 And We caused springs to gush forth from the earth. So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

13 And We carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

14 Floating under Our Eyes: a reward for him who had been rejected!

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

15 And indeed, We have left this as a sign. Then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

16 Then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

17 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

18 'Ad (people) belied (their Prophet, Hud); then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

19 Verily, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a day of evil omen and continuous calamity.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

20 Plucking out men as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

22 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

23 Thamud (people also) belied the warnings.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

24 And they said: "A man, alone among us - shall we follow him? Truly then we should be in error and distress (or madness)!"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

25 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih عليه السلام] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

26 Tomorrow they will come to know who is the liar, the insolent one!

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

27 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih عليه السلام], and be patient!

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

28 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them, each one's right to drink being established (by turns).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

29 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

30 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

31 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry), and they became like the stubble of a fold-builder.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

32 And indeed, We have made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

33 The people of Lut (Lot) belied the warnings.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

34 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lut (Lot), them We saved in the last hour of the night,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

35 As a Favour from Us. Thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

36 And he [Lut (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Seizure (punishment), but they did doubt the warnings!

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

37 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, (saying) "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

38 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

39 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

40 And indeed, We have made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

41 And indeed, warnings came to the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) [through Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)].

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

42 (They) belied all Our Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable (Omnipotent).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

43 Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these [nations of Nuh (Noah), Lut (Lot), Salih, and the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) who were destroyed)? Or have you an immunity (against Our Torment) in the Divine Scriptures?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

44 Or say they: "We are a great multitude, victorious?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

45 Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

46 Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

47 Verily the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals) are in error (in this world) and will burn (in the Hell-fire in the Hereafter).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

48 The Day they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell!"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

49 Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

51 And indeed, We have destroyed your likes; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

52 And everything they have done is noted in (their) Records (of deeds).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

53 And everything, small and big, is written down (in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz already beforehand i.e. before it befalls, or is done by its doer: الإيمان بالقدر) (See the Qur'an V.57:22 and its footnote).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

54 Verily, The Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2), will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers (Paradise).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

55 In a seat of truth (i.e. Paradise), near the Omnipotent King (Allah, the One, the All-Blessed, the Most High, the Owner of Majesty and Honour).
