| 1. * | The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. |
| 2. * | But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic." |
| 3. * | They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time. |
| 4. * | There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them), |
| 5. * | Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not. |
| 6. * | Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair, |
| 7. * | They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad, |
| 8. * | Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say. |
| 9. * | Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out. |
| 10. * | Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then 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 met (and rose) to the extent decreed. |
| 13. * | But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre: |
| 14. * | She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)! |
| 15. * | And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| 16. * | But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning? |
| 17. * | And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| 18. * | The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning? |
| 19. * | For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster, |
| 20. * | Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground). |
| 21. * | Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! |
| 22. * | But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| 23. * | The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. |
| 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! |
| 25. * | "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" |
| 26. * | Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one! |
| 27. * | For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! |
| 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). |
| 29. * | But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her). |
| 30. * | Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! |
| 31. * | For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. |
| 32. * | And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| 33. * | The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. |
| 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,- |
| 35. * | As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. |
| 36. * | And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. |
| 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." |
| 38. * | Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: |
| 39. * | "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." |
| 40. * | And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| 41. * | To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from Allah). |
| 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. |
| 43. * | Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books? |
| 44. * | Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"? |
| 45. * | Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs. |
| 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. |
| 47. * | Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad. |
| 48. * | The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!" |
| 49. * | Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure. |
| 50. * | And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye. |
| 51. * | And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| 52. * | All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds): |
| 53. * | Every matter, small and great, is on record. |
| 54. * | As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers, |
| 55. * | In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent. |
