Surah Al-Qamar
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اِقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ١
Iqtarabatis-sā‘atu wansyaqqal-qamar(u).
[1]
The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا اٰيَةً يُّعْرِضُوْا وَيَقُوْلُوْا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ٢
Wa iy yarau āyatay yu‘riḍū wa yaqūlū siḥrum mustamirr(un).
[2]
And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."
وَكَذَّبُوْا وَاتَّبَعُوْٓا اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ اَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ٣
Wa każżabū wattaba‘ū ahwā'ahum wa kullu amrim mustaqirr(un).
[3]
And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.
وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَنْۢبَاۤءِ مَا فِيْهِ مُزْدَجَرٌۙ٤
Wa laqad jā'ahum minal-ambā'i mā fīhi muzdajar(un).
[4]
And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -
حِكْمَةٌ ۢ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُۙ٥
Ḥikmatum bāligatun famā tugnin-nużur(u).
[5]
Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ اِلٰى شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍۙ٦
Fa tawalla ‘anhum, yauma yad‘ud-dā‘i ilā syai'in nukur(in).
[6]
So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,
خُشَّعًا اَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَجْدَاثِ كَاَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنْتَشِرٌۙ٧
Khusysya‘an abṣāruhum yakhrujūna minal-ajdāṡi ka'annahum jarādum muntasyir(un).
[7]
Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,
مُّهْطِعِيْنَ اِلَى الدَّاعِۗ يَقُوْلُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ٨
Muhṭi‘īna ilad-dā‘(i), yaqūlul-kāfirūna hāżā yaumun ‘asir(un).
[8]
Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."
۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ فَكَذَّبُوْا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوْا مَجْنُوْنٌ وَّازْدُجِرَ٩
Każżabat qablahum qaumu nūḥin fakażżabū ‘abdanā wa qālū majnūnuw wazdujir(a).
[9]
The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗٓ اَنِّيْ مَغْلُوْبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ١٠
Fa da‘ā rabbahū annī maglūbun fantaṣir.
[10]
So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."
فَفَتَحْنَآ اَبْوَابَ السَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍۖ١١
Fa fataḥnā abwābas-samā'i bimā'im munhamir(in).
[11]
Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
وَّفَجَّرْنَا الْاَرْضَ عُيُوْنًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاۤءُ عَلٰٓى اَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ ۚ١٢
Wa fajjarnal-arḍa ‘uyūnan faltaqal-mā'u ‘alā amrin qad qudir(a).
[12]
And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.
وَحَمَلْنٰهُ عَلٰى ذَاتِ اَلْوَاحٍ وَّدُسُرٍۙ١٣
Wa ḥamalnāhu ‘alā żāti alwāḥiw wa dusur(in).
[13]
And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,
تَجْرِيْ بِاَعْيُنِنَاۚ جَزَاۤءً لِّمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ١٤
Tajrī bi'a‘yuninā, jazā'al liman kāna kufir(a).
[14]
Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكْنٰهَآ اٰيَةً فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ١٥
Wa laqat taraknāhā āyatan fahal mim muddakir(in).
[15]
And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيْ وَنُذُرِ١٦
Fa kaifa kāna ‘ażābī wa nużur(i).
[16]
And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ١٧
Wa laqad yassarnal-qur'āna liż-żikri fahal mim muddakir(in).
[17]
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيْ وَنُذُرِ١٨
Każżabat ‘ādun fa kaifa kāna ‘ażābī wa nużur(i).
[18]
'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيْحًا صَرْصَرًا فِيْ يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّۙ١٩
Innā arsalnā ‘alaihim rīḥan ṣarṣaran fī yaumi naḥsim mustamirr(in).
[19]
Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,
تَنْزِعُ النَّاسَۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنْقَعِرٍ٢٠
Tanzi‘un-nās(a), ka'annahum a‘jāzu nakhlim munqa‘ir(in).
[20]
Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيْ وَنُذُرِ٢١
Fa kaifa kāna ‘ażābī wa nużur(i).
[21]
And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ ࣖ٢٢
Wa laqad yassarnal-qur'āna liż-żikri fahal mim muddakir(in).
[22]
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ بِالنُّذُرِ٢٣
Każżabat ṡamūdu bin-nużur(i).
[23]
Thamud denied the warning
فَقَالُوْٓا اَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهٗٓ ۙاِنَّآ اِذًا لَّفِيْ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍ٢٤
Fa qālū abasyaram minnā wāḥidan nattabi‘uh(ū), innā iżal lafī ḍalāliw wa su‘ur(in).
[24]
And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.
ءَاُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ اَشِرٌ٢٥
A'ulqiyaż-żikru ‘alaihi mim baininā bal huwa każżābun asyir(un).
[25]
Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."
سَيَعْلَمُوْنَ غَدًا مَّنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْاَشِرُ٢٦
Saya‘lamūna gadam manil-każżābul-asyir(u).
[26]
They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
اِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْۖ٢٧
Innā mursilun-nāqati fitnatal lahum fartaqibhum waṣṭabir.
[27]
Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ اَنَّ الْمَاۤءَ قِسْمَةٌ ۢ بَيْنَهُمْۚ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ٢٨
Wa nabbi'hum annal-mā'a qismatum bainahum, kullu syirbim muḥtaḍar(un).
[28]
And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].
فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطٰى فَعَقَرَ٢٩
Fa nādau ṣāḥibahum fa ta‘āṭā fa ‘aqar(a).
[29]
But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِيْ وَنُذُرِ٣٠
Fakaifa kāna ‘ażābī wa nużur(i).
[30]
And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَكَانُوْا كَهَشِيْمِ الْمُحْتَظِرِ٣١
Innā arsalnā ‘alaihim ṣaiḥataw wāḥidatan fa kānū kahasyīmil-muḥtaẓir(i).
[31]
Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ٣٢
Wa laqad yassarnal-qur'āna liż-żikri fahal mim muddakir(in).
[32]
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ ۢبِالنُّذُرِ٣٣
Każżabat qaumu lūṭim bin-nużur(i).
[33]
The people of Lot denied the warning.
اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا اِلَّآ اٰلَ لُوْطٍ ۗنَجَّيْنٰهُمْ بِسَحَرٍۙ٣٤
Innā arsalnā ‘alaihim ḥāṣiban illā āla lūṭ(in), najjaināhum bisaḥar(in).
[34]
Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn
نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَاۗ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِيْ مَنْ شَكَرَ٣٥
Ni‘matam min ‘indinā, każālika najzī man syakar(a).
[35]
As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.
وَلَقَدْ اَنْذَرَهُمْ بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا بِالنُّذُرِ٣٦
Wa laqad anżarahum baṭsyatanā fa tamārau bin-nużur(i).
[36]
And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.
وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدُوْهُ عَنْ ضَيْفِهٖ فَطَمَسْنَآ اَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِيْ وَنُذُرِ٣٧
Wa laqad rāwadūhu ‘an ḍaifihī fa ṭamasnā a‘yunahum fa żūqū ‘ażābī wa nużur(i).
[37]
And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."
وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُمْ بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۚ٣٨
Wa laqad ṣabbaḥahum bukratan ‘ażābum mustaqirr(un).
[38]
And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.
فَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِيْ وَنُذُرِ٣٩
Fa żūqū ‘ażābī wa nużur(i).
[39]
So taste My punishment and warning.
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ ࣖ٤٠
Wa laqad yassarnal-qur'āna liż-żikri fahal mim muddakir(in).
[40]
And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ جَاۤءَ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ النُّذُرُۚ٤١
Wa laqad jā'a āla fir‘aunan-nużur(u).
[41]
And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.
كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ اَخْذَ عَزِيْزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ٤٢
Każżabū bi'āyātinā kullihā fa'akhażnāhum akhża ‘azīzim muqtadir(in).
[42]
They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
اَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ اُولٰۤىِٕكُمْ اَمْ لَكُمْ بَرَاۤءَةٌ فِى الزُّبُرِۚ٤٣
Akuffārukum khairum min ulā'ikum am lakum barā'atun fiz-zubur(i).
[43]
Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture?
اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ نَحْنُ جَمِيْعٌ مُّنْتَصِرٌ٤٤
Am yaqūlūna naḥnu jamī‘um muntaṣir(un).
[44]
Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?
سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّوْنَ الدُّبُرَ٤٥
Sayuhzamul-jam‘u wa yuwallūnad-dubur(a).
[45]
[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].
بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ اَدْهٰى وَاَمَرُّ٤٦
Balis-sā‘atu mau‘iduhum was-sā‘atu adhā wa amarr(u).
[46]
But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.
اِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍۘ٤٧
Innal-mujrimīna fī ḍalāliw wa su‘ur(in).
[47]
Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.
يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُوْنَ فِى النَّارِ عَلٰى وُجُوْهِهِمْۗ ذُوْقُوْا مَسَّ سَقَرَ٤٨
Yauma yusḥabūna fin-nāri ‘alā wujūhihim, żūqū massa saqar(a).
[48]
The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."
اِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ٤٩
Innā kulla syai'in khalaqnāhu biqadar(in).
[49]
Indeed, all things We created with predestination.
وَمَآ اَمْرُنَآ اِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ ۢبِالْبَصَرِ٥٠
Wa mā amrunā illā wāḥidatun kalamḥim bil-baṣar(i).
[50]
And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.
وَلَقَدْ اَهْلَكْنَآ اَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ٥١
Wa laqad ahlaknā asy-yā‘akum fahal mim muddakir(in).
[51]
And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?
وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلُوْهُ فِى الزُّبُرِ٥٢
Wa kullu syai'in fa‘alūhu fiz-zubur(i).
[52]
And everything they did is in written records.
وَكُلُّ صَغِيْرٍ وَّكَبِيْرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ٥٣
Wa kullu ṣagīriw wa kabīrim mustaṭar(un).
[53]
And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.
اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِيْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّنَهَرٍۙ٥٤
Innal-muttaqīna fī jannātiw wa nahar(in).
[54]
Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,
فِيْ مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيْكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ࣖ٥٥
Fī maq‘adi ṣidqin ‘inda malīkim muqtadir(in).
[55]
In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.
