The hour (of judgment) approaches as moon is being split
The disbelievers, however, make fun of indications of God and refer to it as an act of magic
They deny the Lord and follow their own (low worldly) desires. Every prescribed event, however, will take place when its time arrives
The disbelievers have heard about the other prophets and it is easy for them to cross check the truth
Unfortunately, they do not take these wise admonitions seriously
Leave them alone then till they are called to face the awesome event
They will come out of their graves with the most horrified eyes resembling to a bunch of locusts
Towards facing their terrible destiny, they will say: “Indeed this is an awful day.”
The people of Noah, too, made fun of my servant. They called him a crazy man and ex-communicated him
Noah (in despair) called upon his Lord: “I am overcome, would you come to my rescue”
So I (God) opened the gates of the sky and poured down the water
As to the earth, I (God) gushed forth springs so that the water reached as high as desired
I (God) carried Noah, then, on a bunch of planks fastened by palm fibers
Under My watchful eyes, Noah floated to the safety. What a terrible punishment it was for the disbelievers
This is left as a warning sign; is there anyone who minds an admonition
How terrible was My (God’s) punishment after My warnings
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition
The tribe of Ad also denied their prophet. How true was my warning and how awful my punishment
Then one day I sent them a strong storm; a nasty storm that brought them nothing but misery
The storm was tossing people around as though they were decayed palm tree trunks
What a truthful warning and what a sever punishment
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition
The tribe of Thamud also denied their warnings
They said: “Are we crazy to follow a lonely person who is just a human being like us?”
“Is there no one better among us worthy of receiving God’s messages? Indeed this “prophet” is a liar who brags about his closeness to God”
Tomorrow they will find out who the liar is.”
“Tomorrow we will send a camel to try their obedience with. Watch their behavior with patience.”
Let them know that they have to share their spring water with the camel.”
Instead, They commissioned a clan member to kill the camel
How terrible was My (God’s) punishment after My warnings
I sent them only one blow which made them look like harvested hay
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition
The people of Lot also denied their prophet’s warnings
I (God) showered them with rocks. Only Lot’s family was saved at dawn
I (God) blessed him and his family; this is the way that I reward the grateful ones
Lot warned his people about God’s upcoming punishment but they made jokes and laughed at him
They verbally abused Lot’s honorable guests. That is why, I made them blind: Suffer my punishment; you have been warned
Then early next morning a disaster struck them
Suffer my punishment; you have been warned
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition
Pharaoh’s people were warned
They denied all My Warnings. Consequently, I punished them in a manner that the Almighty Powerful punishes
Do you disbeliever think that you are better than the ones before you? Is there any exemptions for you in the Scriptures
Do they believe that by sticking together they will win
Pretty soon you will show your back on flying
They will see the real misery, however, on the Day of their Resurrection;… it is far worse and more painful
The wicked people who have chosen the wrong path will be chained and dragged into Hell
When they are thrown into fire, they will be told: Taste now the flame of Hell.”
I have created everything with a pre-destined fate
It will take only a twinkle of an eye for My (God’s) command to be fulfilled
I (God) have destroyed many like you as an example; is there anyone who wants to take a lesson
Whatever done is registered in a Book
The Book covers everything; no matter how grave or immaterial it seems to be
As to those who minded their Lord, they will end up in gardens with the streams
In a place of true honor: At the presence of the Most Powerful King
