English - Chapter 54 - Al-Qamar

The Hour has drawn nigh: the moon is split

Yet if they see a sign they turn away, and they say 'A continuous sorcery

They have cried lies, and followed their caprices; but every matter is settled

And there have come to them such tidings as contain a deterrent

a Wisdom far-reaching; yet warnings do not avail

So turn thou away from them. Upon the day when the Caller shall call unto a horrible thing

abasing their eyes, they shall come forth from the tombs as if they were scattered grasshoppers

running with outstretched necks to the Caller. The unbelievers shall say, 'This is a hard day

The people of Noah cried lies before them; they cried lies to Our servant, and said, 'A man possessed!' And he was rejected

And so he called unto his Lord, saying, 'I am vanquished; do Thou succour me

Then We opened the gates of heaven unto water torrential

and made the earth to gush with fountains, and the waters met for a matter decreed

And We bore him upon a well-planked vessel well-caulked

running before Our eyes-a recompense for him denied

And We left it for a sign. Is there any that will remember

How then were My chastisement and My warnings

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember

Ad cried lies. How then were My chastisement and My warnings

We loosed against them a wind clamorous in a day of ill fortune continuous

plucking up men as if they were stumps of uprooted palm-trees

How then were My chastisement and My warnings

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember

Thamood cried lies to the warnings

and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity

Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar

They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar

They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience

And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn

Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her

How then were My chastisement and My warnings

We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember

The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings

We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn

a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful

He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings

Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings

In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement

Taste now My chastisement and My warnings

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember

The warnings came also to Pharaoh's folk

They cried lies to Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with the seizing of One mighty, omnipotent

What, are your unbelievers better than those? Or have you an immunity in the Scrolls

Or do they say, 'We are a congregation that shall be succoured

Certainly the host shall be routed, and turn their backs

Nay, but the Hour is their tryst, and the Hour is very calamitous and bitter

Surely the sinners are in error and insanity

The day when they are dragged on their faces into the Fire: 'Taste now the touch of Sakar

Surely We have created everything in measure

Our commandment is but one word, as the twinkling of an eye

We have destroyed the likes of you; is there any that will remember

Every thing that they have done is in the Scrolls

and everything, great and small, is inscribed

Surely the godfearing shall dwell amid gardens and a river

in a sure abode, in the presence of a King Omnipotent
