سُورَةُ القَمَرِ

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

Iqtarabatis Saa'atu wsan shaqqal qamar

And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

Wa iny yaraw aayatany yu'ridoo wa yaqooloo sihrum mustamirr

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.

Wa kazzaboo wattaba'ooo ahwaaa'ahum; wa kullu amrim mustaqirr

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -

Wa laqad jaaa'ahum minal ambaaa'i maa feehi muzdajar

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].

Hikmatum baalighatun famaa tughnin nuzur

So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,

Fatawalla 'anhum; yawma yad'ud daa'i ilaa shai 'in nukur

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

khushsha'an absaaruhum yakrujoona minal ajdaasi ka annahum jaraadum muntashir

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

Muhti'eena ilad daa'i yaqoolul kafiroona haazaa yawmun 'asir

The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.

Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohin fakazzaboo 'abdanaa wa qaaloo majnoo nunw wazdujir

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

Fada'aa Rabbahooo annee maghloobun fantasir

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

Fafatahnaaa abwaabas sa maaa'i bimaa'im munhamir

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.

Wa fajjamal arda 'uyoonan faltaqal maaa'u 'alaaa amrin qad qudir

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,

Wa hamalnaahu 'alaa zaati alwaahinw wa dusur

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.

Tajree bi a'yuninaa jazaaa 'al liman kaana kufir

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur

'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

Kazzabat 'Aadun fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,

Innaa arsalnaa 'alaihim reehan sarsaran fee Yawmi nahsim mustamirr

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.

Tanzi;un naasa ka anna huma'jaazu nakhlim munqa'ir

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

'Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

Wa laqad yassamal Quraana liz zikri fahal mim muddakir

Thamud denied the warning

Kazzabat Samoodu binnuzur

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.

Faqaalooo a-basharam minnaa waahidan nattabi'uhooo innaa izal lafee dalaalinw wa su'ur

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."

'A-ulqiyaz zikru 'alaihi mim baininaa bal huwa kazzaabun ashir

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.

Sa-ya'lamoona ghadam manil kazzaabul ashir

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.

Innaa mursilun naaqati fitnatal lahum fartaqibhum wastabir

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].

Wa nabbi'hum annal maaa'a qismatum bainahum kullu shirbim muhtadar

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

Fanaadaw saahibahum fata'aataa fa'aqar

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur

Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

Innaaa arsalnaa 'alaihim saihatanw waahidatan fakaano kahasheemil muhtazir

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

Wa laqad yassarnal quraana liz zikri fahal mim muddakir

The people of Lot denied the warning.

Kazzabat qawmu lootim binnuzur

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

Innaa arsalnaa 'alaihim haasiban illaaa aala Loot najjainaahum bisahar

As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.

Ni'matam min 'indinaa; kazaalika najzee man shakar

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.

Wa laqad anzarahum batshatanaa fatamaaraw binnuzur

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."

Wa laqad raawadoohu 'andaifee fatamasnaaa a'yunahum fazooqoo 'azaabee wa nuzur

Wa laqad yassarnal Quraana liz zikri fahal mim muddakir

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.

Wa laqad jaaa'a Aala Fir'awnan nuzur

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.

Kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa kullihaa fa akhaznaahum akhza 'azeezim muqtadir

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture?

Akuffaarukum khairum min ulaaa'ikum am lakum baraaa'atun fiz Zubur

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?

Am yaqooloona nahnu jamee'um muntasir

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].

Sa yuhzamul jam'u wa yuwalloonad dubur

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.

Balis Saa'atu maw'iduhum was Saa'atu adhaa wa amarr

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.

Innal mujrimeena fee dalaalinw wa su'ur

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."

Yawma yushaboona fin Naari'alaa wujoohimim zooqoo massa saqar

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.

Innaa kulla shai'in khalaqnaahu biqadar

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.

Wa maaa amrunaaa illaa waahidatun kalamhim bilbasar

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?

Wa laqad ahlaknaaa ashyaa'akum fahal mim muddakir

And everything they did is in written records.

Wa kullu shai'in fa'aloohu fiz Zubur

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

Wa kullu sagheerinw wa kabeerim mustatar

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,

Innal muttaqeena fee jannaatinw wa nahar

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.

Fee maq'adi sidqin 'inda Maleekim Muqtadir
