54. Al-Qamar

ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ ۝١

اِقۡتَـرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الۡقَمَرُ‏ ۝١

54:1 The Hour (of doom) has drawn near, and the moon has split asunder.

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ ۝٢

وَاِنۡ يَّرَوۡا اٰيَةً يُّعۡرِضُوۡا وَيَقُوۡلُوۡا سِحۡرٌ مُّسۡتَمِرٌّ‏ ۝٢

54:2 When these people see a sign, they turn away and say, “(This is) a transient magic.”

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ ۝٣

وَكَذَّبُوۡا وَاتَّبَعُوۡۤا اَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ​ وَكُلُّ اَمۡرٍ مُّسۡتَقِرٌّ‏ ۝٣

54:3 They have rejected (the Truth) and followed their desires, while every matter has to settle (at some time).

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ۝٤

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَنۡۢبَآءِ مَا فِيۡهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌۙ‏ ۝٤

54:4 And there has come to them as much news (of the earlier communities) as it is enough to deter,

حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

حِكۡمَةٌ ۢ بَالِغَةٌ​ فَمَا تُغۡنِ النُّذُرُۙ‏ ۝٥

54:5 (containing) a perfect wisdom. But the warnings are of no avail (to them).

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ​ۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ الدَّاعِ اِلٰى شَىۡءٍ نُّكُرٍۙ‏ ۝٦

54:6 Therefore, turn aside (O Prophet,) from them. (They will see the reality) on the day in which the caller will call (them) to a gruesome object.

خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ ۝٧

خُشَّعًا اَبۡصَارُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡاَجۡدَاثِ كَاَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٌ مُّنۡتَشِرٌۙ‏ ۝٧

54:7 With their eyes humbled, they will come out of the graves like locusts spread all over,

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ۝٨

مُّهۡطِعِيۡنَ اِلَى الدَّاعِ​ؕ يَقُوۡلُ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ هٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٌ‏  ۝٨

54:8 rushing quickly towards the caller. (On that Day) the disbelievers will say, “This is a hard day.”

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ ۝٩

كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوۡحٍ فَكَذَّبُوۡا عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوۡا مَجۡنُوۡنٌ وَّازۡدُجِرَ‏ ۝٩

54:9 The people of NūH denied (the truth) before them. So they rejected Our servant, and said, “(He is) a madman”, and he was (also) threatened (by them).

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ ۝١٠

فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّىۡ مَغۡلُوۡبٌ فَانْـتَصِرۡ‏ ۝١٠

54:10 So he prayed to his Lord saying, “I am overpowered, so defend (me).”

فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ ۝١١

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ اَبۡوَابَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنۡهَمِرٍ ۖ‏ ۝١١

54:11 So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring forth profusely,

وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ ۝١٢

وَّفَجَّرۡنَا الۡاَرۡضَ عُيُوۡنًا فَالۡتَقَى الۡمَآءُ عَلٰٓى اَمۡرٍ قَدۡ قُدِرَ​ۚ‏ ۝١٢

54:12 and We caused the earth to gush forth as springs; so the water (of both kinds) met together for a destined event.

وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ ۝١٣

وَحَمَلۡنٰهُ عَلٰى ذَاتِ اَلۡوَاحٍ وَّدُسُرٍۙ‏ ۝١٣

54:13 And We caused him (NūH) to board that (ship) which had planks and nails,

تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ۝١٤

تَجۡرِىۡ بِاَعۡيُنِنَا​ۚ جَزَآءً لِّمَنۡ كَانَ كُفِرَ‏ ۝١٤

54:14 which sailed under Our Eyes, as a reward for the one who was rejected (by the infidels).

وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝١٥

وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكۡنٰهَاۤ اٰيَةً فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ‏ ۝١٥

54:15 And We left it (the ship) as a sign. So, is there one to take lesson?

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝١٦

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىۡ وَنُذُرِ‏ ۝١٦

54:16 Then how was My torment and My warnings?

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝١٧

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ‏ ۝١٧

54:17 Indeed We have made the Qur’ān easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice?

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝١٨

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٌ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىۡ وَنُذُرِ‏ ۝١٨

54:18 (The people of) ‘Ād rejected (their prophet). So how was My torment and My warnings?

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ ۝١٩

اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيۡحًا صَرۡصَرًا فِىۡ يَوۡمِ نَحۡسٍ مُّسۡتَمِرٍّۙ‏  ۝١٩

54:19 We did send to them a furious wind in a day of continuous misfortune,

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ ۝٢٠

تَنۡزِعُ النَّاسَۙ كَاَنَّهُمۡ اَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ مُّنۡقَعِرٍ‏ ۝٢٠

54:20 plucking people away, as if they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees.

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٢١

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىۡ وَنُذُرِ‏ ۝٢١

54:21 So how was My torment and My warnings?

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٢٢

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ‏ ۝٢٢

54:22 Indeed We have made the Qur’ān easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٢٣

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ بِالنُّذُرِ‏ ۝٢٣

54:23 (The people of) Thamūd rejected the warners.

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٢٤

فَقَالُـوۡۤا اَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهٗۤ ۙ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّفِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍ‏ ۝٢٤

54:24 So they said, “Shall we follow a single human being from among us? Then we will be in error and insanity.

أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ ۝٢٥

ءَاُلۡقِىَ الذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡۢ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ اَشِرٌ‏ ۝٢٥

54:25 Is it that the advice has been cast upon him alone out of all of us? No, but he is a bragging liar.”

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ ۝٢٦

سَيَعۡلَمُوۡنَ غَدًا مَّنِ الۡكَذَّابُ الۡاَشِرُ‏ ۝٢٦

54:26 Tomorrow they will know who the bragging liar is!

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ ۝٢٧

اِنَّا مُرۡسِلُوا النَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةً لَّهُمۡ فَارۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَاصۡطَبِرۡ‏  ۝٢٧

54:27 We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch them (O SāliH,) and keep patience,

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ ۝٢٨

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ اَنَّ الۡمَآءَ قِسۡمَةٌ ۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡ​ۚ كُلُّ شِرۡبٍ مُّحۡتَضَرٌ‏  ۝٢٨

54:28 and tell them that water (of the well) is to be shared between them (and the she-camel), so as the right of having water shall be attended by each (alternatively).

فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ۝٢٩

فَنَادَوۡا صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطٰى فَعَقَرَ‏ ۝٢٩

54:29 Then they called their man (to kill the she-camel,) so he undertook (the task) and killed (the she-camel).

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٠

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىۡ وَنُذُرِ‏ ۝٣٠

54:30 So how was My torment and My warnings?

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ ۝٣١

اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَكَانُوۡا كَهَشِيۡمِ الۡمُحۡتَظِرِ‏  ۝٣١

54:31 We sent upon them a single Cry, and they were like crushed leafs of a hedge-builder.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٣٢

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ‏ ۝٣٢

54:32 Indeed We have made the Qur’ān easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice?

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٣٣

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوۡطٍ ۢ بِالنُّذُرِ‏ ۝٣٣

54:33 The people of LūT rejected the warners.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٍ ۝٣٤

اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا اِلَّاۤ اٰلَ لُوۡطٍ​ؕ نَّجَّيۡنٰهُمۡ بِسَحَرٍۙ‏ ۝٣٤

54:34 We sent upon them a rain of stones, except the family of LūT whom We saved in the last hours of night,

نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ ۝٣٥

نِّعۡمَةً مِّنۡ عِنۡدِنَا​ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِىۡ مَنۡ شَكَرَ‏ ۝٣٥

54:35 as a grace from Us. This is how We reward the one who offers gratitude.

وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٣٦

وَلَقَدۡ اَنۡذَرَهُمۡ بَطۡشَتَـنَا فَتَمَارَوۡا بِالنُّذُرِ‏ ۝٣٦

54:36 And he (LūT) had certainly warned them of Our grasp, but they disputed the warnings.

وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٧

وَلَقَدۡ رَاوَدُوۡهُ عَنۡ ضَيۡفِهٖ فَطَمَسۡنَاۤ اَعۡيُنَهُمۡ فَذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابِىۡ وَنُذُرِ‏ ۝٣٧

54:37 And they had even tried to tempt him against his guests (so that they may snatch them away for bad purpose,) but We blinded their eyes: “Now taste My torment and My warnings!”

وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ ۝٣٨

وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُمۡ بُكۡرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسۡتَقِرٌّ​ ۚ‏ ۝٣٨

54:38 And on the next morning, a lasting torment overtook them:

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٩

فَذُوۡقُوۡا عَذَابِىۡ وَنُذُرِ‏ ۝٣٩

54:39 “Now taste My torment and My warnings.”

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٤٠

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ‏ ۝٤٠

54:40 Indeed We have made the Qur’ān easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice?

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٤١

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَ اٰلَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ النُّذُرُ​ۚ‏ ۝٤١

54:41 And the warners came to the family of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh).

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ۝٤٢

كَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَاَخَذۡنٰهُمۡ اَخۡذَ عَزِيۡزٍ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ‏  ۝٤٢

54:42 (But) they rejected all Our signs; so We seized them- a seizure by One Mighty, Powerful.

أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٤٣

اَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ اُولٰٓٮِٕكُمۡ اَمۡ لَكُمۡ بَرَآءَةٌ فِى الزُّبُرِ​ۚ‏  ۝٤٣

54:43 Are the disbelievers among you in a better position than all of the aforesaid (punished people), or do you have immunity (recorded) in the sacred books?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُّنتَصِرٌ ۝٤٤

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ نَحۡنُ جَمِيۡعٌ مُّنۡتَصِرٌ‏ ۝٤٤

54:44 Or do they say, “We are a large group, well-defended.”?

سَيُهْزَمُ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ۝٤٥

سَيُهۡزَمُ الۡجَمۡعُ وَيُوَلُّوۡنَ الدُّبُرَ‏ ۝٤٥

54:45 Soon this ‘large group’ shall be defeated, and all of them will turn their backs.

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ۝٤٦

بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَالسَّاعَةُ اَدۡهٰى وَاَمَرُّ‏ ۝٤٦

54:46 Rather the Hour (of judgment) is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour is more calamitous and much more bitter.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٤٧

اِنَّ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍ​ۘ‏ ۝٤٧

54:47 Surely the guilty ones are in error and madness.

يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ۝٤٨

يَوۡمَ يُسۡحَبُوۡنَ فِى النَّارِ عَلٰى وُجُوۡهِهِمۡؕ ذُوۡقُوۡا مَسَّ سَقَرَ‏  ۝٤٨

54:48 On the Day when they will be dragged into the Fire on their faces, (it will be said to them,) “Taste the touch of Hell.”

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ ۝٤٩

اِنَّا كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ خَلَقۡنٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ‏ ۝٤٩

54:49 Verily, We have created every thing according to (Our) predestination.

وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍۭ بِٱلْبَصَرِ ۝٥٠

وَمَاۤ اَمۡرُنَاۤ اِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمۡحٍۢ بِالۡبَصَرِ‏ ۝٥٠

54:50 And (implementation of) Our command is no more than a single act like the twinkling of an eye.

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ۝٥١

وَلَقَدۡ اَهۡلَـكۡنَاۤ اَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِنۡ مُّدَّكِرٍ‏ ۝٥١

54:51 We have destroyed people like you; so, is there one to take lesson?

وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٥٢

وَكُلُّ شَىۡءٍ فَعَلُوۡهُ فِى الزُّبُرِ‏ ۝٥٢

54:52 And every thing they have done is recorded in the books (of deeds).

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ ۝٥٣

وَ كُلُّ صَغِيۡرٍ وَّكَبِيۡرٍ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ‏ ۝٥٣

54:53 And every thing, small and big, is written down.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَهَرٍ ۝٥٤

اِنَّ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ فِىۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّنَهَرٍۙ‏ ۝٥٤

54:54 Of course, the God-fearing will be in gardens and rivers,

فِى مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍۭ ۝٥٥

  فِىۡ مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِنۡدَ مَلِيۡكٍ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ‏ ۝٥٥

54:55 in a seat of Truth, near to the Omnipotent Sovereign.
