ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ۝١

1The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ۝٢

2And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ۝٣

3And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ۝٤

4And certainly some narratives have come to them wherein is prevention--

حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ۝٥

5Consummate wisdom-- but warnings do not avail;

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ۝٦

6So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when the inviter shall invite them to a hard task,

خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ۝٧

7Their eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts,

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ۝٨

8Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ۝٩

9Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ۝١٠

10Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help.

فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ۝١١

11So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring

وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ۝١٢

12And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained.

وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ۝١٣

13And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails

تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ۝١٤

14Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who was denied.

وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ۝١٥

15And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ۝١٦

16How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ۝١٧

17And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ۝١٨

18Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was My punishment and My warning!

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ۝١٩

19Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitter ill-luck

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ۝٢٠

20Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm-trees torn up.

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ۝٢١

21How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ۝٢٢

22And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ۝٢٣

23Samood rejected the warning.

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ۝٢٤

24So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress:

أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ۝٢٥

25Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ۝٢٦

26Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one.

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ۝٢٧

27Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience.

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ۝٢٨

28And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated.

فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ۝٢٩

29But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her).

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ۝٣٠

30How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ۝٣١

31Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ۝٣٢

32And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ۝٣٣

33The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٍ۝٣٤

34Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak,

نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ۝٣٥

35A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks.

وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ۝٣٦

36And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning.

وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ۝٣٧

37And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning.

وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ۝٣٨

38And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning.

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ۝٣٩

39So taste My chastisement and My warning.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ۝٤٠

40And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ۝٤١

41And certainly the warning came to Firon's people.

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ۝٤٢

42They rejected all Our communications, so We overtook them after the manner of a Mighty, Powerful One.

أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ۝٤٣

43Are the unbelievers of yours better than these, or is there an exemption for you in the scriptures?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ۝٤٤

44Or do they say: We are a host allied together to help each other?

سَيُهْزَمُ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ۝٤٥

45Soon shall the hosts be routed, and they shall turn (their) backs.

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ۝٤٦

46Nay, the hour is their promised time, and the hour shall be most grievous and bitter.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ۝٤٧

47Surely the guilty are in error and distress.

يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ۝٤٨

48On the day when they shall be dragged upon their faces into the fire; taste the touch of hell.

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ۝٤٩

49Surely We have created everything according to a measure.

وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍۭ بِٱلْبَصَرِ۝٥٠

50And Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ۝٥١

51And certainly We have already destroyed the likes of you, but is there anyone who will mind?

وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ۝٥٢

52And everything they have done is in the writings.

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ۝٥٣

53And everything small and great is written down.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَهَرٍ۝٥٤

54Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and rivers,

فِى مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍۭ۝٥٥

55In the seat of honor with a most Powerful King.
