ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ﰀ ﴿١﴾
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ ﰁ ﴿٢﴾
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ ﰂ ﴿٣﴾
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ ﰃ ﴿٤﴾
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ﰄ ﴿٥﴾
Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ ﰅ ﴿٦﴾
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٞ مُّنتَشِرٞ ﰆ ﴿٧﴾
They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
مُّهۡطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ يَقُولُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٞ ﰇ ﴿٨﴾
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجۡنُونٞ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ ﰈ ﴿٩﴾
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ ﰉ ﴿١٠﴾
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
فَفَتَحۡنَآ أَبۡوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٖ مُّنۡهَمِرٖ ﰊ ﴿١١﴾
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ ﰋ ﴿١٢﴾
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَٰحٖ وَدُسُرٖ ﰌ ﴿١٣﴾
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
تَجۡرِي بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءٗ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ﰍ ﴿١٤﴾
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﰎ ﴿١٥﴾
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﰐ ﴿١٧﴾
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٞ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ﰑ ﴿١٨﴾
The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيحٗا صَرۡصَرٗا فِي يَوۡمِ نَحۡسٖ مُّسۡتَمِرّٖ ﰒ ﴿١٩﴾
For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٖ مُّنقَعِرٖ ﰓ ﴿٢٠﴾
Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground).
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﰕ ﴿٢٢﴾
But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
فَقَالُوٓاْ أَبَشَرٗا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدٗا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّفِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٍ ﰗ ﴿٢٤﴾
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!
أَءُلۡقِيَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٞ ﰘ ﴿٢٥﴾
"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
سَيَعۡلَمُونَ غَدٗا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ ﰙ ﴿٢٦﴾
Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةٗ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ ﰚ ﴿٢٧﴾
For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!
وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ أَنَّ ٱلۡمَآءَ قِسۡمَةُۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ كُلُّ شِرۡبٖ مُّحۡتَضَرٞ ﰛ ﴿٢٨﴾
And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns).
فَنَادَوۡاْ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ﰜ ﴿٢٩﴾
But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَكَانُواْ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ ﰞ ﴿٣١﴾
For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﰟ ﴿٣٢﴾
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٖۖ نَّجَّيۡنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٖ ﰡ ﴿٣٤﴾
We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,-
نِّعۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَن شَكَرَ ﰢ ﴿٣٥﴾
As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡاْ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ﰣ ﴿٣٦﴾
And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning.
وَلَقَدۡ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيۡفِهِۦ فَطَمَسۡنَآ أَعۡيُنَهُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ﰤ ﴿٣٧﴾
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."
وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُم بُكۡرَةً عَذَابٞ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ ﰥ ﴿٣٨﴾
Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them:
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﰧ ﴿٤٠﴾
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ ﰨ ﴿٤١﴾
To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from Allah).
كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُمۡ أَخۡذَ عَزِيزٖ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ ﰩ ﴿٤٢﴾
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.
أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡ أُوْلَٰٓئِكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٞ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ ﰪ ﴿٤٣﴾
Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books?
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِيعٞ مُّنتَصِرٞ ﰫ ﴿٤٤﴾
Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?
سَيُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ﰬ ﴿٤٥﴾
Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs.
بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ﰭ ﴿٤٦﴾
Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter.
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٖ ﰮ ﴿٤٧﴾
Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.
يَوۡمَ يُسۡحَبُونَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُواْ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ﰯ ﴿٤٨﴾
The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!"
إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٖ ﰰ ﴿٤٩﴾
Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure.
وَمَآ أَمۡرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٞ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ ﰱ ﴿٥٠﴾
And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye.
وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﰲ ﴿٥١﴾
And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition?
وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٖ فَعَلُوهُ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ ﰳ ﴿٥٢﴾
All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds):
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَنَهَرٖ ﰵ ﴿٥٤﴾
As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers,
