54. THE MOON ( Al – Qamar ) |
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
1.
The hour drew near and the moon was split {
l }. |
2.
And if they see a sign they turn away and say, “Magic (of old) repeated.” |
3.
And they denied and followed their desires. And every affair has a (set)
time/place of happening. |
4.
And there has come to them (that part) of the news in which there is
(a warning for them) to restrain, |
6.
so turn away from them. The day an announcer will call them towards
an awful thing put, |
7.
with their sight humbled, they will come out of the graves, as if they
were scattered locusts, |
8.
hastening with their eyes fixed towards the announcer. The infidels
will say, “This is a day of difficulty.” |
9.
The people of Nuh denied before them, so they denied Our servant and
said, “One influenced by jinn,” and he was scolded and driven away. |
10.
Then he prayed to his Fosterer, “I am overcome so help me.” |
11.
So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring forth, |
12.
and We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met
for (the execution of) an affair already programmed. |
13.
And We carried him on (the ship) made of planks and nails (or planks
tied with palm fibre), |
14.
sailing before Our eyes, a reward for him who was rejected. |
15.
And We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who will mind? |
17.
And We have indeed made the Quran easy to remember (understand and be
mindful), but is there anyone who will mind? |
18.
Aad denied, then how (terrible) was My punishment and My warning! |
19.
We sent on them a furious wind during the day (period) of repeated loss, |
20.
uprooting men as if they were trunks of uprooted date palms. |
22.
And We have indeed made the Quran easy to remember, but is there anyone
who will mind? (R 1) |
24.
so they said, “Should we follow him who is a single man from among us?
We will then certainly be in error and madness. |
25.
Has the reminder been made to come down (only) on him from among (all
of) us? No, he is a self interested liar.” |
27.
We are sending the she camel as a test for them, so be vigilant (over)
them and be patient.
|
28.
And inform them that the water is to be shared between (the she camel
and) them, each one should be present(for) the drink (at one’s turn). |
29.
But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) then slew (the
she camel). |
31.
We sent on them a single loud cry so they became like dry broken pieces
(of trees used to make) an enclosure (for the cattle or around fields). |
32.
And We indeed made the Quran easy to remember, but is there anyone
who will mind?
|
34.
We sent on them a sand storm (or volcanic debris), except the followers
of Lut, We delivered them by dawn. |
35.
A favour from Us, thus do We reward him who is grateful. |
36.
And he had warned them of Our seizure but they doubted and disputed
about the warnings. |
37.
And they even sought to take away from him his guests (for an evil purpose),
but We blinded their eyes, so taste My punishment and My warning. |
38.
The punishment set (to befall) at its place/time of happening, befell
them in the morning. |
40.
And We indeed made the Quran easy to remember, but is there anyone who
will mind? (R 2) |
42.
but they were deniers of Our signs, each of them, so We seized them
(with a) seizure of One Mighty, Powerful. |
43.
Are infidels (among) you better than those or is there a freedom for
you in the scriptures? |
45.
The army will be defeated and they will be made to turn their backs. |
46.
No, the hour of doom is their promised time and the hour of doom will
be most grievous and most bitter. |
48.
On the day they will be dragged into the fire on their faces, |
50.
And Our command is but one, like the twinkling of an eye. |
51.
And We indeed destroyed sects (like those of) yours, but is there anyone
who will mind? |
53.
and everything small or great is written down (recorded). |
54.
Those who guard (against evil) will certainly be in gardens with rivers, |
55.
in a confirmed seat, near the King, the Holder of power. ( R 3 ) |
