# Translation Ayah
1 The Last Hour draws near and the moon is split asunder. اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
2 Yet, when they see a sign they [who deny the truth] turn their backs and say, "The same old sorcery!" وَإِن يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
3 They deny the truth and follow their own whims, every matter has its appointed time, وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
4 there has come to them many a tiding wherein there are warnings, وَلَقَدْ جَاءهُم مِّنَ الْأَنبَاء مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
5 profound in wisdom, but all warnings have been of no avail: حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ
6 so ignore them. On the Day when the Crier will call out about a horrible event, فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
7 with downcast eyes they shall come out of their graves, as if they were locusts milling about خُشَّعًا أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ
8 hastening towards the Crier. Those who deny the truth will cry, "This is such a hard day!" مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ
9 The people of Noah denied [the truth] before them. They belied Our messenger saying, "He is mad!" He was rebuffed, كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ
10 so he cried out to his Lord, saying, "I am overcome, so help me!" فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانتَصِرْ
11 So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring down in torrents, فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاء بِمَاء مُّنْهَمِرٍ
12 and We caused the earth to burst with gushing springs: so that the waters met for a purpose which had been decreed. وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاء عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
13 We bore him on an [ark] which, made of planks and nails, وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
14 floated on under Our eyes: a vindication of him who had been rejected. تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاء لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
15 We have left this as a sign: but will anyone take heed? وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
16 How terrible then was My punishment and My warning. فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
17 We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
18 The people of 'Ad too rejected the truth. How terrible was My punishment and My warning. كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
19 We sent a raging wind against them on a day of continuous calamity. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ
20 It swept people away as if they were trunks of uprooted palm trees. تَنزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ
21 How [dreadful] was My punishment and My warning! فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
22 We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: is there anyone who would receive admonition? وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
23 The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ
24 they said, "Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness. فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ
25 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِن بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
26 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْأَشِرُ
27 for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient. إِنَّا مُرْسِلُو النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ
28 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَاء قِسْمَةٌ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ
29 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَى فَعَقَرَ
30 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
31 Then We sent a single blast against them and they became like dry stubble which has been trampled upon. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَكَانُوا كَهَشِيمِ الْمُحْتَظِرِ
32 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
33 The people of Lot rejected Our warnings. كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ بِالنُّذُرِ
34 We sent a sandstorm against them which destroyed them all, except the family of Lot, whom We saved at the break of dawn, إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ نَّجَّيْنَاهُم بِسَحَرٍ
35 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. نِعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَن شَكَرَ
36 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا بِالنُّذُرِ
37 they even wanted to seduce his guests -- but We blinded them, and said, "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" -- وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِ فَطَمَسْنَا أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
38 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
39 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" فَذُوقُوا عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
40 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
41 Surely warners came to the people of Pharaoh. وَلَقَدْ جَاء آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ النُّذُرُ
42 They, too, rejected all Our signs. So We seized them with the seizure of One Mighty, Omnipotent. كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
43 Are your people who deny the truth better than those? Or have you been given immunity in the Scriptures? أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُوْلَئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَاءةٌ فِي الزُّبُرِ
44 Or do they say, "We are a united group, and we are bound to prevail?" أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ
45 The hosts shall soon be routed and they shall be put to flight. سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ
46 Indeed, the Hour of Doom is their appointed time, and the Last Hour will be the most severe, and the most bitter. بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ
47 The evil-doers are indeed sunk in error and folly -- إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ
48 on the Day when they are dragged into the fire on their faces, it will be said to them, "Now feel the touch of Hell!" يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ
49 We have created everything in due measure; إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ
50 We command but once: Our will is done in the twinkling of an eye; وَمَا أَمْرُنَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ
51 We have indeed destroyed many a people like you. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
52 All their deeds are recorded in their books: وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِي الزُّبُرِ
53 every action, small or great, is noted down. وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُسْتَطَرٌ
54 The God-conscious will find themselves in gardens and rivers, إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ
55 in the seat of truth with an all-powerful sovereign. فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
