Chapter 54. The Moon
Al-Qamar 54:1
ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ
The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.
Al-Qamar 54:2
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ
And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.
Al-Qamar 54:3
وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ
They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision
Al-Qamar 54:4
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ
And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,
Al-Qamar 54:5
حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.
Al-Qamar 54:6
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.
Al-Qamar 54:7
خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٞ مُّنتَشِرٞ
With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad,
Al-Qamar 54:8
مُّهۡطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ يَقُولُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٞ
Hastening toward the summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a hard day.
Al-Qamar 54:9
۞كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجۡنُونٞ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ
The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed.
Al-Qamar 54:10
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ
So he cried unto his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help.
Al-Qamar 54:11
فَفَتَحۡنَآ أَبۡوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٖ مُّنۡهَمِرٖ
Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water
Al-Qamar 54:12
وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ
And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose.
Al-Qamar 54:13
وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَٰحٖ وَدُسُرٖ
And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails,
Al-Qamar 54:14
تَجۡرِي بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءٗ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
That ran (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected.
Al-Qamar 54:15
وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ
And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that remembereth?
Al-Qamar 54:16
فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
Al-Qamar 54:17

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٞ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
(The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings.
Al-Qamar 54:19

Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity,
Al-Qamar 54:20
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٖ مُّنقَعِرٖ
Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm-trees.

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.
Al-Qamar 54:25
أَءُلۡقِيَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٞ
Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar.

سَيَعۡلَمُونَ غَدٗا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ
(Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar.
Al-Qamar 54:27
إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةٗ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ
Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience;
Al-Qamar 54:28
وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ أَنَّ ٱلۡمَآءَ قِسۡمَةُۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ كُلُّ شِرۡبٖ مُّحۡتَضَرٞ
And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.
Al-Qamar 54:29
فَنَادَوۡاْ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ

Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold.

As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks.

Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.
Al-Qamar 54:43
