Surah 54. Al-Qamar
In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful
1. The hour drew near and the moon was rent in twain.
2. And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.
3. They denied and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision
4. And surely there has come to them news whereof the purport should deter,
5. Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.
6. So withdraw from them on the day when the Summoner summons to a painful thing.
7. With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad,
8. Hastening toward the Summoner, the deniers say: This is a hard day.
9. The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed.
10. So he cried to his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help.
11. Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water
12. And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose.
13. And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails,
14. That ran in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected.
15. And surely We left it as a token; but is there any that remembers?
16. Then see how was My punishment after My warnings!
17. And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembered?
18. Aad rejected warnings. Then how was My punishment after My warnings.
19. Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity,
20. Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm trees.
21. Then see how was My punishment after My warnings!
22. And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembers?
