اِقۡتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانۡشَقَّ الۡقَمَرُ

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]

وَاِنۡ يَّرَوۡا اٰيَةً يُّعۡرِضُوۡا وَيَقُوۡلُوۡا سِحۡرٌ مُّسۡتَمِرٌّ

And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic

وَكَذَّبُوۡا وَاتَّبَعُوۡ٘ا اَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَكُلُّ اَمۡرٍ مُّسۡتَقِرٌّ

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَنۭۡ بَآءِ مَا فِيۡهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌۙ‏

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence

حِكۡمَةٌۭ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغۡنِ النُّذُرُۙ‏

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them]

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ الدَّاعِ اِلٰي شَيۡءٍ نُّكُرٍۙ‏

So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding

خُشَّعًا اَبۡصَارُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡاَجۡدَاثِ كَاَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٌ مُّنۡتَشِرٌۙ‏

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading

مُّهۡطِعِيۡنَ اِلَي الدَّاعِؕ يَقُوۡلُ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ هٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٌ

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوۡحٍ فَكَذَّبُوۡا عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوۡا مَجۡنُوۡنٌ وَّازۡدُجِرَ

The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled

فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗ٘ اَنِّيۡ مَغۡلُوۡبٌ فَانۡتَصِرۡ‏

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help

فَفَتَحۡنَا٘ اَبۡوَابَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنۡهَمِرٍؗۖ‏

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

وَّفَجَّرۡنَا الۡاَرۡضَ عُيُوۡنًا فَالۡتَقَي الۡمَآءُ عَلٰ٘ي اَمۡرٍ قَدۡ قُدِرَۚ‏

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined

وَحَمَلۡنٰهُ عَلٰي ذَاتِ اَلۡوَاحٍ وَّدُسُرٍۙ‏

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails

تَجۡرِيۡ بِاَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَنۡ كَانَ كُفِرَ

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied

وَلَقَدۡ تَّرَكۡنٰهَا٘ اٰيَةً فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيۡ وَنُذُرِ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيۡ وَنُذُرِ

Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning

اِنَّا٘ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيۡحًا صَرۡصَرًا فِيۡ يَوۡمِ نَحۡسٍ مُّسۡتَمِرٍّۙ‏

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune

تَنۡزِعُ النَّاسَۙ كَاَنَّهُمۡ اَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ مُّنۡقَعِرٍ

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيۡ وَنُذُرِ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍࣖ‏

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ بِالنُّذُرِ

Thamud denied the warning

فَقَالُوۡ٘ا اَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهٗ٘ۙ اِنَّا٘ اِذًا لَّفِيۡ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍ

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness

ءَاُلۡقِيَ الذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۭۡ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ اَشِرٌ

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar

سَيَعۡلَمُوۡنَ غَدًا مَّنِ الۡكَذَّابُ الۡاَشِرُ

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar

اِنَّا مُرۡسِلُوا النَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةً لَّهُمۡ فَارۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَاصۡطَبِرۡؗ‏

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ اَنَّ الۡمَآءَ قِسۡمَةٌۭ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ كُلُّ شِرۡبٍ مُّحۡتَضَرٌ

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]

فَنَادَوۡا صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطٰي فَعَقَرَ

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيۡ وَنُذُرِ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning

اِنَّا٘ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَكَانُوۡا كَهَشِيۡمِ الۡمُحۡتَظِرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوۡطٍۭ بِالنُّذُرِ

The people of Lot denied the warning

اِنَّا٘ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا اِلَّا٘ اٰلَ لُوۡطٍؕ نَجَّيۡنٰهُمۡ بِسَحَرٍۙ‏

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

نِّعۡمَةً مِّنۡ عِنۡدِنَاؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِيۡ مَنۡ شَكَرَ

As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful

وَلَقَدۡ اَنۡذَرَهُمۡ بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡا بِالنُّذُرِ

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning

وَلَقَدۡ رَاوَدُوۡهُ عَنۡ ضَيۡفِهٖ فَطَمَسۡنَا٘ اَعۡيُنَهُمۡ فَذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابِيۡ وَنُذُرِ

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning

وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُمۡ بُكۡرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسۡتَقِرٌّۚ‏

And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment

فَذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابِيۡ وَنُذُرِ

So taste My punishment and warning

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍࣖ‏

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَ اٰلَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ النُّذُرُۚ‏

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning

كَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَاَخَذۡنٰهُمۡ اَخۡذَ عَزِيۡزٍ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability

اَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ اُولٰٓئِكُمۡ اَمۡ لَكُمۡ بَرَآءَةٌ فِي الزُّبُرِۚ‏

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ نَحۡنُ جَمِيۡعٌ مُّنۡتَصِرٌ

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]

سَيُهۡزَمُ الۡجَمۡعُ وَيُوَلُّوۡنَ الدُّبُرَ

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat]

بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَالسَّاعَةُ اَدۡهٰي وَاَمَرُّ

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter

اِنَّ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ فِيۡ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍۘ‏

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness

يَوۡمَ يُسۡحَبُوۡنَ فِي النَّارِ عَلٰي وُجُوۡهِهِمۡؕ ذُوۡقُوۡا مَسَّ سَقَرَ

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar

اِنَّا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ

Indeed, all things We created with predestination

وَمَا٘ اَمۡرُنَا٘ اِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمۡحٍۭ بِالۡبَصَرِ

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye

وَلَقَدۡ اَهۡلَكۡنَا٘ اَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember

وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٍ فَعَلُوۡهُ فِي الزُّبُرِ

And everything they did is in written records

وَكُلُّ صَغِيۡرٍ وَّكَبِيۡرٍ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed

اِنَّ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ فِيۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّنَهَرٍۙ‏

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers

فِيۡ مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِنۡدَ مَلِيۡكٍ مُّقۡتَدِرٍࣖ‏

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability
