Al Qamar

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

1 Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru

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

2 Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun

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

3 Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun

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

4 Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun

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

5 Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru

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

6 Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin

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

7 KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun

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

8 MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun

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

9 Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira

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

10 FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir

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

11 Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin

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

12 Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira

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

13 Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

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

14 Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira

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

15 Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

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

16 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

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

17 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

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

18 Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

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

19 Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin

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

20 TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin

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

21 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

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

22 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

23 Thamud denied the warning

23 Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri

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

24 Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin

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

25 Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun

26 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.

26 SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru

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

27 Inna mursiloo alnnaqati fitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir

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

28 Wanabbihum anna almaa qismatun baynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun

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

29 Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAata faAAaqara

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

30 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

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

31 Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatan wahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri

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

32 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

33 The people of Lot denied the warning.

33 Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri

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

34 Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin

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

35 NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara

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

36 Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri

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

37 Walaqad rawadoohu AAan dayfihi fatamasna aAAyunahum fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

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

38 Walaqad sabbahahum bukratan AAathabun mustaqirrun

39 So taste My punishment and warning.

39 Fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

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

40 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

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

41 Walaqad jaa ala firAAawna alnnuthuru

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

42 Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin

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

43 Akuffarukum khayrun min olaikum am lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi

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

44 Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun

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

45 Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura

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

46 Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru

47 Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.

47 Inna almujrimeena fee dalalin wasuAAurin

48 The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."

48 Yawma yushaboona fee alnnari AAala wujoohihim thooqoo massa saqara

49 Indeed, all things We created with predestination.

49 Inna kulla shayin khalaqnahu biqadarin

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

50 Wama amruna illa wahidatun kalamhin bialbasari

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

51 Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakum fahal min muddakirin

52 And everything they did is in written records.

52 Wakullu shayin faAAaloohu fee alzzuburi

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

53 Wakullu sagheerin wakabeerin mustatarun

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

54 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaharin

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

55 Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekin muqtadirin
