 |
| اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ {١} |
1. The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. |
| وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ {٢} |
2. But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic." |
| وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُسْتَقِرٌّ {٣} |
3. They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time. |
| وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْبَاءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ {٤} |
4. There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them), |
| حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ {٥} |
5. Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not. |
| فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيْءٍ نُكُرٍ {٦} |
6. Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair, |
| خُشَّعًا أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُنْتَشِرٌ {٧} |
7. They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad, |
| مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ {٨} |
8. Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say. |
| كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ {٩} |
9. Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out. |
| فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ {١٠} |
10. Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!" |
| فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَاءٍ مُنْهَمِرٍ {١١} |
11. So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth. |
| وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاءُ عَلَىٰ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ {١٢} |
12. And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed. |
| وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ {١٣} |
13. But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre: |
| تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ {١٤} |
14. She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)! |
| وَلَقَدْ تَرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ {١٥} |
15. And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ {١٦} |
16. But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning? |
| وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ {١٧} |
17. And We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ {١٨} |
18. The ´Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning? |
| إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ {١٩} |
19. For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster, |
| تَنْزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُنْقَعِرٍ {٢٠} |
20. Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground). |
| فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ {٢١} |
21. Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! |
| وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ {٢٢} |
22. But We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ {٢٣} |
23. The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. |
| فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرًا مِنَّا وَاحِدًا نَتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ {٢٤} |
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! |
| أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ {٢٥} |
25. "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" |
| سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْأَشِرُ {٢٦} |
26. Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one! |
| إِنَّا مُرْسِلُو النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ {٢٧} |
27. For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! |
| وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ قِسْمَةٌ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُحْتَضَرٌ {٢٨} |
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). |
| فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ {٢٩} |
29. But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her). |
| فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ {٣٠} |
30. Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! |
| إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَكَانُوا كَهَشِيمِ الْمُحْتَظِرِ {٣١} |
31. For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. |
| وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ {٣٢} |
32. And We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ بِالنُّذُرِ {٣٣} |
33. The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. |
| إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ ۖ نَجَّيْنَاهُمْ بِسَحَرٍ {٣٤} |
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,- |
| نِعْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ شَكَرَ {٣٥} |
35. As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. |
| وَلَقَدْ أَنْذَرَهُمْ بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا بِالنُّذُرِ {٣٦} |
36. And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. |
| وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدُوهُ عَنْ ضَيْفِهِ فَطَمَسْنَا أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ {٣٧} |
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." |
| وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُمْ بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُسْتَقِرٌّ {٣٨} |
38. Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: |
| فَذُوقُوا عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ {٣٩} |
39. "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." |
| وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ {٤٠} |
40. And We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| وَلَقَدْ جَاءَ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ النُّذُرُ {٤١} |
41. To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from Allah). |
| كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ {٤٢} |
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. |
| أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُولَٰئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُمْ بَرَاءَةٌ فِي الزُّبُرِ {٤٣} |
43. Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books? |
| أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌ مُنْتَصِرٌ {٤٤} |
44. Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"? |
| سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ {٤٥} |
45. Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs. |
| بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ {٤٦} |
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. |
| إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ {٤٧} |
47. Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad. |
| يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ {٤٨} |
48. The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!" |
| إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ {٤٩} |
49. Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure. |
| وَمَا أَمْرُنَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ {٥٠} |
50. And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye. |
| وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ {٥١} |
51. And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition? |
| وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِي الزُّبُرِ {٥٢} |
52. All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds): |
| وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُسْتَطَرٌ {٥٣} |
53. Every matter, small and great, is on record. |
| إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ {٥٤} |
54. As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers, |
| فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ {٥٥} |
55. In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent. |
