In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |

1. |
The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon). |
|
2. |
And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic." |
|
3. |
They belied (the Verses of Allaah, this Qur'aan), and followed their own lusts, And every matter will be settled [according to the kind of deeds (for the doer of good deeds, his deeds will take him to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell)]. |
|
4. |
And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur'aan) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil), |
|
5. |
Perfect wisdom (this Qur'aan), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not, |
|
6. |
So (O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) withdraw from them, The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing. |
|
7. |
They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad, |
|
8. |
Hastening towards the caller, the disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day." |
|
9. |
The people of Nooh (Noah) denied (their
Messenger) before them, they rejected Our slave, and said: "A madman!" and he was insolently rebuked and threatened. |
|
10. |
Then he invoked his Lord (saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!" |
|
11. |
So We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring forth. |
|
12. |
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined. |
|
13. |
And We carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails, |
|
14. |
Floating under Our Eyes, a reward for him who had been rejected! |
|
15. |
And indeed, We have left this as a sign, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? |
|
16. |
Then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? |
|
17. |
And We have indeed made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? |
|
18. |
'Ad (people) belied (their Prophet, Hud), then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? |
|
19. |
Verily, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a day of evil omen and continuous calamity. |
|
20. |
Plucking out men as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms. |
|
21. |
Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? |
|
22. |
And We have indeed made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? |
|
23. |
Thamood (people also) belied the warnings. |
|
24. |
For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" |
|
25. |
"Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Saalih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" |
|
26. |
Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! |
|
27. |
Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, So watch them [O Saalih (Saleh)], and be patient! |
|
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). |
|
29. |
But they called their comrade and he took (a
sword) and killed (her). |
|
30. |
Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? |
|
31. |
Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. |
|
32. |
And indeed, We have made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? |
|
33. |
The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. |
|
34. |
Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, |
|
35. |
As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). |
|
36. |
And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings! |
|
37. |
And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them), So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." |
|
38. |
And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. |
|
39. |
"Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." |
|
40. |
And indeed, We have made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? |
|
41. |
And indeed, warnings came to the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) [through Moosaa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)]. |
|
42. |
(They) belied all Our Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable to carry out what he Will (Omnipotent). |
|
43. |
Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these [nations of Nooh (Noah), Lout (Lot), Saalih (Saleh), and the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), etc., who were destroyed)? Or have you an immunity (against Our Torment) in the Divine Scriptures? |
|
44. |
Or do they say: "We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious.?" |
|
45. |
Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs. |
|
46. |
Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter. |
|
47. |
Verily, the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.) are in error (in this world) and will burn (in the Hell- fire in the Hereafter). |
|
48. |
The Day they will be dragged in the Fire on their faces (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell!" |
|
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). |
|
50. |
And Our Commandment is but one, as the twinkling of an eye. |
|
51. |
And indeed, We have destroyed your likes, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? |
|
52. |
And each and everything they have done is noted in (their) Records (of deeds). |
|
53. |
And everything, small and big is written (in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz already beforehand i.e, before it befalls, or is done by its doer (See the Qur'aan V.57:22). |
|
54. |
Verily, The Muttaqoon (pious), will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers (Paradise). |
|
55. |
In a seat of truth (i.e, Paradise), near the Omnipotent King (Allaah, the All-Blessed, the Most High, the Owner of Majesty and Honour). |
