Chapter 54, 55 verses
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اقتربت الساعة وانشق القمر
ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
وإن يروا آية يعرضوا ويقولوا سحر مستمر
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun
وكذبوا واتبعوا أهواءهم ۚ وكل أمر مستقر
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun
ولقد جاءهم من الأنباء ما فيه مزدجر
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Mature wisdom; - but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru
حكمة بالغة ۖ فما تغن النذر
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin
فتول عنهم ۘ يوم يدع الداع إلى شيء نكر
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
They will come forth, - their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
خشعا أبصارهم يخرجون من الأجداث كأنهم جراد منتشر
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller! - "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun
مهطعين إلى الداع ۖ يقول الكافرون هذا يوم عسر
مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira
۞ كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح فكذبوا عبدنا وقالوا مجنون وازدجر
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
فدعا ربه أني مغلوب فانتصر
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin
ففتحنا أبواب السماء بماء منهمر
فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira
وفجرنا الأرض عيونا فالتقى الماء على أمر قد قدر
وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm - fibre:
Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin
وحملناه على ذات ألواح ودسر
وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira
تجري بأعيننا جزاء لمن كان كفر
تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin
ولقد تركناها آية فهل من مدكر
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?

Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin
إنا أرسلنا عليهم ريحا صرصرا في يوم نحس مستمر
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ
Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm - trees torn up (from the ground).
TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin

The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners.
Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri
كذبت ثمود بالنذر
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!
Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin
فقالوا أبشرا منا واحدا نتبعه إنا إذا لفي ضلال وسعر
فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun
أألقي الذكر عليه من بيننا بل هو كذاب أشر
أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru
سيعلمون غدا من الكذاب الأشر
سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
For We will send the she - camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!
Inna mursiloo alnnaqati fitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir
إنا مرسلو الناقة فتنة لهم فارتقبهم واصطبر
إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ
And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns).
Wanabbihum anna almaa qismatun baynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun
ونبئهم أن الماء قسمة بينهم ۖ كل شرب محتضر
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ
But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).

The people of Lut rejected (his) warning.
Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri
كذبت قوم لوط بالنذر
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn, -
Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin
إنا أرسلنا عليهم حاصبا إلا آل لوط ۖ نجيناهم بسحر
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ نَّجَّيْنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٍ
As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara
نعمة من عندنا ۚ كذلك نجزي من شكر
نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ
And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning.
Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri
ولقد أنذرهم بطشتنا فتماروا بالنذر
وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them:
Walaqad sabbahahum bukratan AAathabun mustaqirrun

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ
The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will.
Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin
كذبوا بآياتنا كلها فأخذناهم أخذ عزيز مقتدر
كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books?
Akuffarukum khayrun min olaikum am lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi
أكفاركم خير من أولئكم أم لكم براءة في الزبر
أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ
Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?
Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun
أم يقولون نحن جميع منتصر
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ

Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.
