| | Muhammad Sarwar rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 54:1 | | The Hour of Doom is drawing near and the moon is rent asunder |
| 54:2 | | Whenever they see a miracle, they turn away from it and say, "This is just a powerful magic" |
| 54:3 | | They have rejected it and have followed their own desires, but all matters will be settled (by God) |
| 54:4 | | They have certainly received the kind of news in which there is a lesson and strong words of wisdom |
| 54:5 | | but the warnings have proved to have no effect on them |
| 54:6 | | (Muhammad), leave them alone. On the day when they will be called to a terrible punishment |
| 54:7 | | they will come out of their graves, their eyes cast down, hastening towards their Summoner as locusts rushing about |
| 54:8 | | These disbelievers will say, "This is a hard day" |
| 54:9 | | The people of Noah, who lived before them, had also rejected (Our guidance). They rejected Our servant and said, "He is an insane person so let us drive him away" |
| 54:10 | | Noah prayed, "Lord, help me; I am defeated" |
| 54:11 | | We opened the gates of the sky and water started to pour down |
| 54:12 | | We caused the earth to burst forth with springs so that the waters could come together for a predestined purpose |
| 54:13 | | We carried him, (Noah), on a vessel built with boards fixed together with nails |
| 54:14 | | which floated on the water before Our very eyes. The flood was a recompense for the deeds of the disbelievers |
| 54:15 | | We made (the story of Noah) as evidence of the Truth. However, is there anyone who would take heed |
| 54:16 | | How terrible was My torment and the result of (their disregard) of My warning |
| 54:17 | | We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention |
| 54:18 | | The people of `Ad rejected Our guidance. How terrible was My torment and the result (of their disregard) of My warning |
| 54:19 | | On an unfortunate day We sent upon them a continuous violent win |
| 54:20 | | which hurled people around like uprooted trunks of palm-trees |
| 54:21 | | How terrible was Our torment and the result of (their disregard) of Our warning |
| 54:22 | | We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention |
| 54:23 | | The people of Thamud rejected Our warnings |
| 54:24 | | They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so) |
| 54:25 | | How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person" |
| 54:26 | | (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar |
| 54:27 | | We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient |
| 54:28 | | Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water" |
| 54:29 | | They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel |
| 54:30 | | How terrible was My punishment and warning |
| 54:31 | | We sent upon them a single blast of sound and they were left like hay to be used by the cattle |
| 54:32 | | We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed |
| 54:33 | | The people of Lot rejected Our warning |
| 54:34 | | We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor |
| 54:35 | | Thus do We recompense the grateful ones |
| 54:36 | | Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it |
| 54:37 | | They demanded that he turn over his guests to them |
| 54:38 | | We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned" |
| 54:39 | | One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned" |
| 54:40 | | We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention |
| 54:41 | | The Pharaoh and his people had also received Our warning |
| 54:42 | | but they rejected all Our miracles. So We seized them in the way that a Majestic and All-powerful One would |
| 54:43 | | Are you disbelievers mightier than those of the nations which We destroyed before or have you received amnesty through the ancient Scriptures |
| 54:44 | | Do they say, "We shall be victorious because we are united?" |
| 54:45 | | (Let them know that) this united group will soon run away in defeat |
| 54:46 | | In fact, the Hour of Doom is the time for them to suffer. The suffering of this hour is the most calamitous and the most bitter (of all suffering) |
| 54:47 | | The sinful ones will face the destructive torment of hel |
| 54:48 | | when they will be dragged on their faces into the fire and will be told, "Feel the touch of hell" |
| 54:49 | | We have created everything to fulfill a certain purpose |
| 54:50 | | It takes only a single command from Us (to bring the Day of Judgment) and that can be achieved within the twinkling of an eye |
| 54:51 | | We destroyed many people like you (disbelievers) but is there anyone who would take heed (of Our warning) |
| 54:52 | | Whatever they have done has been recorded in the Books (records of the deeds) |
| 54:53 | | Every small or great deed is written down |
| 54:54 | | The pious ones will live in Paradise wherein streams flow |
| 54:55 | | honorably seated in the presence of the All-dominant King |
