Chapter 54, 55 verses
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
وَإِن يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُم مِّنَ الْأَنبَاءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun
Mature wisdom; - but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ
Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin
They will come forth, - their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller! - "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ
MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانتَصِرْ
FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَاءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ
Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاءُ عَلَىٰ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm - fibre:
وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin
But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?

Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin
The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?

Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ
Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin
Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm - trees torn up (from the ground).
تَنزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ
TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin

The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ
Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri
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!
فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ
Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin
"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِن بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun
Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْأَشِرُ
SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru
For We will send the she - camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!
إِنَّا مُرْسِلُو النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ
Inna mursiloo alnnaqati fitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir
And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns).
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ قِسْمَةٌ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ
Wanabbihum anna almaa qismatun baynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun
But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).
فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ
Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAata faAAaqara
Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَكَانُوا كَهَشِيمِ الْمُحْتَظِرِ
Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatan wahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri

The people of Lut rejected (his) warning.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ بِالنُّذُرِ
Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri
We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn, -
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَاهُم بِسَحَرٍ
Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin
As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي مَن شَكَرَ
NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara

Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri
And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."

Walaqad rawadoohu AAan dayfihi fatamasna aAAyunahum fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

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.
كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin
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
Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ
Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun
Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs.
سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ
Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura
Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter.

Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru

Inna kulla shayin khalaqnahu biqadarin
And Our Command is but a single (Act), - like the twinkling of an eye.
وَمَا أَمْرُنَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ
Wama amruna illa wahidatun kalamhin bialbasari
And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition?

Every matter, small and great, is on record.
وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ

As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers,
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ
Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaharin
In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent.
فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekin muqtadirin
