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 apostle): 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.
