SOORAH AL-QAMAR (THE MOON)
|
|
|
|
| 1. | The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon).[] | |
| 2. | And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic." | |
| 3. | They belied (the Verses of Allaah, this Qur'aan), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled [according to the kind of deeds (for the doer of good deeds, his deeds will take him to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell)]. | |
| 4. | And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur'aan) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil), | |
| 5. | Perfect wisdom (this Qur'aan), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not, | |
| 6. | So (O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) withdraw from them. The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing. | |
| 7. | They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad, | |
| 8. | Hastening towards the caller, the disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day." | |
| 9. | The people of Nooh (Noah) denied (their Messenger) before them, they rejected Our slave, and said: "A madman!" and he was insolently rebuked and threatened. | |
| 10. | Then he invoked his Lord (saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!" | |
| 11. | So We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring forth. | |
| 12. | And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs. So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined. | |
| 13. | And We carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails, | |
| 14. | Floating under Our Eyes, a reward for him who had been rejected! | |
| 15. | And indeed, We have left this as a sign, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? | |
| 16. | Then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? | |
| 17. | And We have indeed made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? | |
| 18. | 'Ad (people) belied (their Prophet, Hood), then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? | |
| 19. | Verily, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a day of evil omen and continuous calamity. | |
| 20. | Plucking out men as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms. | |
| 21. | Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? | |
| 22. | And We have indeed made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? | |
| 23. | Thamood (people also) belied the warnings. | |
| 24. | For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" | |
| 25. | "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Saalih (Saleh) alayhis-salaam] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" | |
| 26. | Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! | |
| 27. | Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Saalih (Saleh) alayhis-salaam], and be patient! | |
| 28. | And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). | |
| 29. | But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). | |
| 30. | Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? | |
| 31. | Verily, We sent against them a single Saeehah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. | |
| 32. | And indeed, We have made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? | |
| 33. | The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. | |
| 34. | Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, | |
| 35. | As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). | |
| 36. | And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings! | |
| 37. | And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." | |
| 38. | And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. | |
| 39. | "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." | |
| 40. | And indeed, We have made the Qur'aan easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? | |
| 41. | And indeed, warnings came to the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) [through Moosa (Moses) and Haaroon (Aaron)]. | |
| 42. | (They) belied all Our Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable to carry out what he Will (Omnipotent). | |
| 43. | Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these [nations of Nooh (Noah), Lout (Lot), Saalih (Saleh), and the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), etc., who were destroyed)? Or have you an immunity (against Our Torment) in the Divine Scriptures? | |
| 44. | Or do they say: "We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious.?" | |
| 45. | Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs. | |
| 46. | Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter. | |
| 47. | Verily, the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.) are in error (in this world) and will burn (in the Hell-fire in the Hereafter). | |
| 48. | The Day they will be dragged in the Fire on their faces (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell!"[] | |
| 49. | Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation, as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz). | |
| 50. | And Our Commandment is but one, as the twinkling of an eye. | |
| 51. | And indeed, We have destroyed your likes, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? | |
| 52. | And each and everything they have done is d in (their) Records (of deeds). | |
| 53. | And everything, small and big is written (in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz already beforehand i.e. before it befalls, or is done by its doer (See the Qur'aan V.57:22). | |
| 54. | Verily, The Muttaqoon[] (pious), will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers (Paradise). | |
| 55. | In a seat of truth (i.e. Paradise), near the Omnipotent King (Allaah, the All-Blessed, the Most High, the Owner of Majesty and Honour). | |
