1. * |
The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.
|
|
2. * |
And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.
|
|
3. * |
They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision
|
|
4. * |
And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,
|
|
5. * |
Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.
|
|
6. * |
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto 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 disbelievers 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 unto 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 (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected.
|
|
15. * |
And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that remembereth?
|
|
16. * |
Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
|
|
17. * |
And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?
|
|
18. * |
(The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) 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 (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
|
|
22. * |
And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?
|
|
23. * |
(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings
|
|
24. * |
For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness.
|
|
25. * |
Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar.
|
|
26. * |
(Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar.
|
|
27. * |
Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience;
|
|
28. * |
And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.
|
|
29. * |
But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her).
|
|
30. * |
Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
|
|
31. * |
Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold.
|
|
32. * |
And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?
|
|
33. * |
The folk of Lot rejected warnings.
|
|
34. * |
Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night,
|
|
35. * |
As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks.
|
|
36. * |
And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings.
|
|
37. * |
They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings!
|
|
38. * |
And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning.
|
|
39. * |
Now taste My punishment after My warnings!
|
|
40. * |
And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth?
|
|
41. * |
And warnings came in truth unto the house of Pharaoh
|
|
42. * |
Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.
|
|
43. * |
Are your disbelievers better than those, or have ye some immunity in the scriptures?
|
|
44. * |
Or say they: We are a host victorious?
|
|
45. * |
The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee.
|
|
46. * |
Nay, but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure).
|
|
47. * |
Lo! the guilty are in error and madness.
|
|
48. * |
On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell.
|
|
49. * |
Lo! We have created every thing by measure.
|
|
50. * |
And Our commandment is but one (commandment), as the twinkling of an eye.
|
|
51. * |
And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembereth?
|
|
52. * |
And every thing they did is in the scriptures,
|
|
53. * |
And every small and great thing is recorded.
|
|
54. * |
Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers,
|
|
55. * |
Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King.
