सूरा-अल-क़मर
54. THE MOON
1. The Hour has
drawn near, and the moon has split.
2. Yet whenever they see a miracle, they turn away, and say, “Continuous magic.”
3. They lied, and
followed their opinions, but everything has its time.
4. And there came
to them news containing a deterrent.
5. Profound
wisdom—but warnings are of no avail.
6. So turn away
from them. On the Day when the Caller calls to something terrible.
7. Their eyes
humiliated, they will emerge from the graves, as if they were swarming locusts.
8. Scrambling towards the Caller, the disbelievers will say, “This is a difficult Day.”
9. Before them the
people of Noah disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, and said, “Crazy,” and
he was rebuked.
10. So he appealed
to his Lord, “I am overwhelmed, so help me.”
11. So We opened
the floodgates of heaven with water pouring down.
12. And We made
the earth burst with springs, and the waters met for a purpose already
destined.
13. And We carried
him on a craft of planks and nails.
14. Sailing before
Our eyes; a reward for him who was rejected.
15. And We left it
as a sign. Is there anyone who would take heed?
16. So how were My
punishment and My warnings?
17. We made the
Quran easy to learn. Is there anyone who would learn?
18. Aad denied the
truth. So how were My punishment and My warnings?
19. We unleashed
upon them a screaming wind, on a day of unrelenting misery. 20. Plucking the
people away, as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees.
21. So how were My
punishment and My warnings?
22. We made the
Quran easy to remember. Is there anyone who would remember? 23. Thamood
rejected the warnings.
24. They said,
“Are we to follow one of us, a human being? We would go astray, and end up in
Hell.
25. Was the
message given to him, out of all of us? In fact, He is a wicked liar.”
26. They will know
tomorrow who the wicked liar is.
27. We are sending
the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and be patient.
28. And inform
them that the water is to be shared between them; each share of drink made
available.
29. But they
called their friend, and he dared, and he slaughtered.
30. So how were My
punishment and My warnings?
31. We sent
against them a single Cry, and they became like crushed hay.
32. We made the
Quran easy to understand. Is there anyone who would understand?
33. The people of Lot rejected the warnings.
34. We unleashed
upon them a shower of stones, except for the family of Lot; We rescued them at
dawn.
35. A blessing
from Us. Thus We reward the thankful.
36. He had warned
them of Our onslaught, but they dismissed the warnings.
37. They even
lusted for his guest, so We obliterated their eyes. “So taste My punishment and
My warnings.”
38. Early morning
brought upon them enduring punishment. 39. So taste My punishment and My
warnings.
40. We made the
Quran easy to memorize. Is there anyone who would memorize?
41. The warnings
also came to the people of Pharaoh.
42. They rejected
Our signs, all of them, so We seized them—the seizure of an Almighty Omnipotent.
43. Are your
unbelievers better than all those? Or do you have immunity in the scriptures?
44. Or do they
say, “We are united, and we will be victorious”?
45. The multitude
will be defeated, and they will turn their backs.
46. The Hour is
their appointed time—the Hour is more disastrous, and most bitter. 47. The
wicked are in confusion and madness.
48. The Day when
they are dragged upon their faces into the Fire: “Taste the touch of Saqar.”
49. Everything We created is precisely measured.
50. And Our
command is but once, like the twinkling of an eye.
51. We have
destroyed your likes. Is there anyone who would ponder?
52. Everything
they have done is in the Books.
53. Everything,
small or large, is written down.
54. The righteous
will be amidst gardens and rivers.
55. In an assembly of virtue, in the presence of an Omnipotent King.
