"The Moon"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful.
"54.1": The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
"54.2": And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.
"54.3": And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed term.
"54.4": And certainly some narratives have come to them wherein is prevention --
"54.5": Consummate wisdom -- but warnings do not avail;
"54.6": So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when the inviter shall invite them to a hard task,
"54.7": Their eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts,
"54.8": Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.
"54.9": Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.
"54.10": Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help.
"54.11": So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring
"54.12": And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained.
"54.13": And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails
"54.14": Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who was denied.
"54.15": And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who
"54.16": How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
"54.17": And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
"54.18": Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was My punishment and My warning!
"54.19": Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitter ill-luck
"54.20": Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm-trees torn up.
"54.21": How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
"54.22": And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
"54.23": Samood rejected the warning.
"54.24": So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress:
"54.25": Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!
"54.26": Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one.
"54.27": Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience.
"54.28": And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated.
"54.29": But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her).
"54.30": How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
"54.31": Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects.
"54.32": And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
"54.33": The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie.
"54.34": Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak,
"54.35": A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks.
"54.36": And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning.
"54.37": And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning.
"54.38": And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning.
"54.39": So taste My chastisement and My warning.
"54.40": And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
"54.41": And certainly the warning came to Firon's people.
"54.42": They rejected all Our communications, so We overtook them after the manner of a Mighty, Powerful One.
"54.43": Are the unbelievers of yours better than these, or is there an exemption for you in the scriptures?
"54.44": Or do they say: We are a host allied together to help each other?
"54.45": Soon shall the hosts be routed, and they shall turn (their) backs.
"54.46": Nay, the hour is their promised time, and the hour shall be most grievous and bitter.
"54.47": Surely the guilty are in error and distress.
"54.48": On the day when they shall be dragged upon their faces into the fire; taste the touch of hell.
"54.49": Surely We have created everything according to a measure.
"54.50": And Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.
"54.51": And certainly We have already destroyed the likes of you, but is there anyone who will mind?
"54.52": And everything they have done is in the writings.
"54.53": And everything small and great is written down.
"54.54": Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and rivers,
"54.55": In the seat of honor with a most Powerful King.
