The Moon (Al-Qamar)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
The Hour of Resurrection drew near and the moon split asunder. 1 And if they behold a sign, they turn away and say: magic continuous 2 And they belied, and they followed their lusts; and every affair cometh to a final goal. 3 And there have come to them such tidings as contain a deterrent -- 4 The pinnacle of wisdom – so how will the Heralds of warning provide any benefit? 5 So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding, 6 abasing their eyes, they shall come forth from the tombs as if they were scattered grasshoppers, 7 Hastening towards the caller, the disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day." 8 ۞ Before these, the people of Nooh denied and they belied Our bondman and said, “He is a madman” and rebuffed him. 9 so he cried out to his Lord, saying, "I am overcome, so help me!" 10 And so We caused the gates of heaven to open with water pouring down in torrents, 11 and We caused the earth to burst with gushing springs: so that the waters met for a purpose which had been decreed. 12 And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails 13 floated on under Our eyes: a vindication of him who had been rejected. 14 And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who 15 How was then My punishment and My commination! 16 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 17 The tribe of A’ad denied – so how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings? 18 And We sent against them a howling wind in a Day of continuous of ill fortune 19 which hurled people around like uprooted trunks of palm-trees. 20 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 21 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will pay heed? 22
