The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اقتربت الساعة وانشق القمر
Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
Chapter 54, 55 verses
The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اقتربت الساعة وانشق القمر
Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."
وإن يروا آية يعرضوا ويقولوا سحر مستمر
Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.
وكذبوا واتبعوا أهواءهم ۚ وكل أمر مستقر
Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -
ولقد جاءهم من الأنباء ما فيه مزدجر
Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].
حكمة بالغة ۖ فما تغن النذر
Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,
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 humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,
خشعا أبصارهم يخرجون من الأجداث كأنهم جراد منتشر
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ
Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult 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
The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.
۞ 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
So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."
فدعا ربه أني مغلوب فانتصر
FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ
Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
ففتحنا أبواب السماء بماء منهمر
Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin
فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ
And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.
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 carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,
وحملناه على ذات ألواح ودسر
Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin
وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
تجري بأعيننا جزاء لمن كان كفر
Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira
تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?
ولقد تركناها آية فهل من مدكر
Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
كذبت عاد فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,
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
Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.
تنزع الناس كأنهم أعجاز نخل منقعر
TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ
And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
Thamud denied the warning
كذبت ثمود بالنذر
Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.
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 message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, 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
They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
سيعلمون غدا من الكذاب الأشر
SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru
سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
Indeed, We are sending the she - camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.
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, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].
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, and he dared and hamstrung [her].
فنادوا صاحبهم فتعاطى فعقر
Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAata faAAaqara
فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ
And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
فكيف كان عذابي ونذر
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.
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 We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
The people of Lot denied the warning.
كذبت قوم لوط بالنذر
Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn
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
As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.
نعمة من عندنا ۚ كذلك نجزي من شكر
NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara
نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ
And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.
ولقد أنذرهم بطشتنا فتماروا بالنذر
Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri
وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and 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 there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.
ولقد صبحهم بكرة عذاب مستقر
Walaqad sabbahahum bukratan AAathabun mustaqirrun
وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
So taste My punishment and warning.
فذوقوا عذابي ونذر
Fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri
فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر
Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.
ولقد جاء آل فرعون النذر
Walaqad jaa ala firAAawna alnnuthuru
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ
They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
كذبوا بآياتنا كلها فأخذناهم أخذ عزيز مقتدر
Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin
كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture?
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 an assembly supporting [each other]"?
أم يقولون نحن جميع منتصر
Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ
[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].
سيهزم الجمع ويولون الدبر
Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura
سَيُهْزَمُ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ
But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.
بل الساعة موعدهم والساعة أدهى وأمر
Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru
بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ
Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.
إن المجرمين في ضلال وسعر
Inna almujrimeena fee dalalin wasuAAurin
إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."
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
Indeed, all things We created with predestination.
إنا كل شيء خلقناه بقدر
Inna kulla shayin khalaqnahu biqadarin
إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ
And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.
وما أمرنا إلا واحدة كلمح بالبصر
Wama amruna illa wahidatun kalamhin bialbasari
وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍۭ بِٱلْبَصَرِ
And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?
ولقد أهلكنا أشياعكم فهل من مدكر
Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakum fahal min muddakirin
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
And everything they did is in written records.
وكل شيء فعلوه في الزبر
Wakullu shayin faAAaloohu fee alzzuburi
وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ
And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.
وكل صغير وكبير مستطر
Wakullu sagheerin wakabeerin mustatarun
وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ
Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,
إن المتقين في جنات ونهر
Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaharin
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَهَرٍ
In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.
في مقعد صدق عند مليك مقتدر
Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekin muqtadirin
فِى مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍۭ
