Al Qamar Surah 54. The Moon

54:1	The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
	Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqaalqamaru
54:2	But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
	Wa-in yaraw ayatan yuAAridoowayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
54:3	They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
	Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahumwakullu amrin mustaqirrun
54:4	There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
	Walaqad jaahum mina al-anba-i mafeehi muzdajarun
54:5	Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
	Hikmatun balighatun famatughnee alnnuthuru
54:6	Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
	Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAiila shay-in nukurin
54:7	They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
	KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoonamina al-ajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
54:8	Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
	MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAiyaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun
54:9	Before them the People of Noah rejected (their apostle): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
	Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohinfakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira
54:10	Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
	FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
54:11	So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
	Fafatahna abwaba alssama-ibima-in munhamirin
54:12	And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
	Wafajjarna al-arda AAuyoonanfailtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira
54:13	But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
	Wahamalnahu AAala thatialwahin wadusurin
54:14	She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
	Tajree bi-aAAyunina jazaanliman kana kufira
54:15	And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
	Walaqad taraknaha ayatanfahal min muddakirin
54:16	But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
	Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
54:17	And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
	Walaqad yassarna alqur-ana lilththikrifahal min muddakirin
54:18	The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
	Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kanaAAathabee wanuthuri
54:19	For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
	Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehansarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin
54:20	Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground).
	TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahumaAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin
54:21	Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
	Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
54:22	But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
	Walaqad yassarna alqur-ana lilththikrifahal min muddakirin
54:23	The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners.
	Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri
54:24	For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!
	Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidannattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalinwasuAAurin
54:25	"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
	Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhimin baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun
54:26	Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
	SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabual-ashiru
54:27	For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!
	Inna mursiloo alnnaqatifitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir
54:28	And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns).
	Wanabbi/hum anna almaa qismatunbaynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun
54:29	But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).
	Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAatafaAAaqara
54:30	Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
	Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri
54:31	For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.
	Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatanwahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri
54:32	And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
	Walaqad yassarna alqur-ana lilththikrifahal min muddakirin
54:33	The people of Lut rejected (his) warning.
	Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri
54:34	We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,-
	Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasibanilla ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin
54:35	As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
	NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalikanajzee man shakara
54:36	And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning.
	Walaqad antharahum batshatanafatamaraw bialnnuthuri
54:37	And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."
	Walaqad rawadoohu AAan dayfihifatamasna aAAyunahum fathooqoo AAathabeewanuthuri
54:38	Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them:
	Walaqad sabbahahum bukratanAAathabun mustaqirrun
54:39	"So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."
	Fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri
54:40	And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
	Walaqad yassarna alqur-ana lilththikrifahal min muddakirin
54:41	To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from Allah).
	Walaqad jaa ala firAAawna alnnuthuru
54:42	The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will.
	Kaththaboo bi-ayatinakulliha faakhathnahum akhthaAAazeezin muqtadirin
54:43	Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books?
	Akuffarukum khayrun min ola-ikumam lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi
54:44	Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?
	Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun
54:45	Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs.
	Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura
54:46	Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter.
	Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatuadha waamarru
54:47	Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.
	Inna almujrimeena fee dalalinwasuAAurin
54:48	The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!"
	Yawma yushaboona fee alnnariAAala wujoohihim thooqoo massa saqara
54:49	Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure.
	Inna kulla shay-in khalaqnahubiqadarin
54:50	And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye.
	Wama amruna illa wahidatunkalamhin bialbasari
54:51	And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition?
	Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakumfahal min muddakirin
54:52	All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds):
	Wakullu shay-in faAAaloohu fee alzzuburi
54:53	Every matter, small and great, is on record.
	Wakullu sagheerin wakabeerin mustatarun
54:54	As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers,
	Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatinwanaharin
54:55	In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent.
	Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekinmuqtadirin
