Al-Qamar

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain

وَإِن یَرَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یُعۡرِضُوا۟ وَیَقُولُوا۟ سِحۡرࣱ مُّسۡتَمِرࣱّ

And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوۤا۟ أَهۡوَاۤءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرࣲ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ

They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَاۤءِ مَا فِیهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ

And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَـٰلِغَةࣱۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ

Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ یَوۡمَ یَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ یَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادࣱ مُّنتَشِرࣱ

With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad

مُّهۡطِعِینَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ یَقُولُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا یَوۡمٌ عَسِرࣱ

Hastening toward the summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a hard day

۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحࣲ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجۡنُونࣱ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ

The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ

So he cried unto his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰبَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ

Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water

وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُیُونࣰا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَاۤءُ عَلَىٰۤ أَمۡرࣲ قَدۡ قُدِرَ

And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose

وَحَمَلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَ ٰحࣲ وَدُسُرࣲ

And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails

تَجۡرِی بِأَعۡیُنِنَا جَزَاۤءࣰ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ

That ran (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَـٰهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that remembereth

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادࣱ فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

(The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ رِیحࣰا صَرۡصَرࣰا فِی یَوۡمِ نَحۡسࣲ مُّسۡتَمِرࣲّ

Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلࣲ مُّنقَعِرࣲ

Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm-trees

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings

فَقَالُوۤا۟ أَبَشَرࣰا مِّنَّا وَ ٰحِدࣰا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥۤ إِنَّاۤ إِذࣰا لَّفِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرٍ

For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness

أَءُلۡقِیَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۢ بَیۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرࣱ

Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar

سَیَعۡلَمُونَ غَدࣰا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ

(Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar

إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةࣰ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ

Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ أَنَّ ٱلۡمَاۤءَ قِسۡمَةُۢ بَیۡنَهُمۡۖ كُلُّ شِرۡبࣲ مُّحۡتَضَرࣱ

And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed

فَنَادَوۡا۟ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ

But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her)

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ صَیۡحَةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِیمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ

Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطِۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

The folk of Lot rejected warnings

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا إِلَّاۤ ءَالَ لُوطࣲۖ نَّجَّیۡنَـٰهُم بِسَحَرࣲ

Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night

نِّعۡمَةࣰ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی مَن شَكَرَ

As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks

وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings

وَلَقَدۡ رَ ٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَیۡفِهِۦ فَطَمَسۡنَاۤ أَعۡیُنَهُمۡ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings

وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُم بُكۡرَةً عَذَابࣱ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ

And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

Now taste My punishment after My warnings

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ

And warnings came in truth unto the house of Pharaoh

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ أَخۡذَ عَزِیزࣲ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ

Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful

أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡ أُو۟لَـٰۤئِكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَاۤءَةࣱ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ

Are your disbelievers better than those, or have ye some immunity in the scriptures

أَمۡ یَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِیعࣱ مُّنتَصِرࣱ

Or say they: We are a host victorious

سَیُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَیُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ

The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ

Nay, but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure)

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرࣲ

Lo! the guilty are in error and madness

یَوۡمَ یُسۡحَبُونَ فِی ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ

On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَـٰهُ بِقَدَرࣲ

Lo! We have created every thing by measure

وَمَاۤ أَمۡرُنَاۤ إِلَّا وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ

And Our commandment is but one (commandment), as the twinkling of an eye

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَاۤ أَشۡیَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembereth

وَكُلُّ شَیۡءࣲ فَعَلُوهُ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ

And every thing they did is in the scriptures

وَكُلُّ صَغِیرࣲ وَكَبِیرࣲ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ

And every small and great thing is recorded

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَنَهَرࣲ

Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers

فِی مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِیكࣲ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ

Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King
