| | Muhammad Taqi Usmani rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 54:1 | | The Hour (of doom) has drawn near, and the moon has split asunder |
| 54:2 | | When these people see a sign, they turn away and say, .(This is) a transient magic |
| 54:3 | | They have rejected (the Truth) and followed their desires, while every matter has to settle (at some time) |
| 54:4 | | And there has come to them as much news (of the earlier communities) as it is enough to deter |
| 54:5 | | (containing) a perfect wisdom. But the warnings are of no avail (to them) |
| 54:6 | | Therefore, turn aside (O Prophet,) from them. (They will see the reality) on the day in which the caller will call (them) to a gruesome object |
| 54:7 | | With their eyes humbled, they will come out of the graves like locusts spread all over |
| 54:8 | | rushing quickly towards the caller. (On that Day) the disbelievers will say, .This is a hard day |
| 54:9 | | The people of NuH denied (the truth) before them. So they rejected Our servant, and said, .(He is) a madman., and he was (also) threatened (by them) |
| 54:10 | | So he prayed to his Lord saying, .I am overpowered, so defend (me) |
| 54:11 | | So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring forth profusely |
| 54:12 | | and We caused the earth to gush forth as springs; so the water (of both kinds) met together for a destined event |
| 54:13 | | And We caused him (NuH) to board that (ship) which had planks and nails |
| 54:14 | | which sailed under Our Eyes, as a reward for the one who was rejected (by the infidels) |
| 54:15 | | And We left it (the ship) as a sign. So, is there one to take lesson |
| 54:16 | | Then how was My torment and My warnings |
| 54:17 | | Indeed We have made the Qur‘an easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice |
| 54:18 | | (The people of) ‘Ad rejected (their prophet). So how was My torment and My warnings |
| 54:19 | | We did send to them a furious wind in a day of continuous misfortune |
| 54:20 | | plucking people away, as if they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees |
| 54:21 | | So how was My torment and My warnings |
| 54:22 | | Indeed We have made the Qur‘an easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice |
| 54:23 | | (The people of) Thamud rejected the warners |
| 54:24 | | So they said, .Shall we follow a single human being from among us? Then we will be in error and insanity |
| 54:25 | | Is it that the advice has been cast upon him alone out of all of us? No, but he is a bragging liar |
| 54:26 | | Tomorrow they will know who the bragging liar is |
| 54:27 | | We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch them (O SaliH,) and keep patience |
| 54:28 | | and tell them that water (of the well) is to be shared between them (and the she-camel), so as the right of having water shall be attended by each (alternatively) |
| 54:29 | | Then they called their man (to kill the she-camel,) so he undertook (the task) and killed (the she-camel) |
| 54:30 | | So how was My torment and My warnings |
| 54:31 | | We sent upon them a single Cry, and they were like crushed leafs of a hedge-builder |
| 54:32 | | Indeed We have made the Qur‘an easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice |
| 54:33 | | The people of LuT rejected the warners |
| 54:34 | | We sent upon them a rain of stones, except the family of LuT whom We saved in the last hours of night |
| 54:35 | | as a grace from Us. This is how We reward the one who offers gratitude |
| 54:36 | | And he (LuT) had certainly warned them of Our grasp, but they disputed the warnings |
| 54:37 | | And they had even tried to tempt him against his guests (so that they may snatch them away for bad purpose,) but We blinded their eyes: .Now taste My torment and My warnings! |
| 54:38 | | And on the next morning, a lasting torment overtook them |
| 54:39 | | .Now taste My torment and My warnings |
| 54:40 | | Indeed We have made the Qur‘an easy for seeking advice. So, is there one to heed to the advice |
| 54:41 | | And the warners came to the family of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) |
| 54:42 | | (But) they rejected all Our signs; so We seized them_ a seizure by One Mighty, Powerful |
| 54:43 | | Are the disbelievers among you in a better position than all of the aforesaid (punished people), or do you have immunity (recorded) in the sacred books |
| 54:44 | | Or do they say, .We are a large group, well-defended. |
| 54:45 | | Soon this ‘large group‘ shall be defeated, and all of them will turn their backs |
| 54:46 | | Rather the Hour (of judgment) is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour is more calamitous and much more bitter |
| 54:47 | | Surely the guilty ones are in error and madness |
| 54:48 | | On the Day when they will be dragged into the Fire on their faces, (it will be said to them,) .Taste the touch of Hell |
| 54:49 | | Verily, We have created every thing according to (Our) predestination |
| 54:50 | | And (implementation of) Our command is no more than a single act like the twinkling of an eye |
| 54:51 | | We have destroyed people like you; so, is there one to take lesson |
| 54:52 | | And every thing they have done is recorded in the books (of deeds) |
| 54:53 | | And every thing, small and big, is written down |
| 54:54 | | Of course, the God-fearing will be in gardens and rivers |
| 54:55 | | in a seat of Truth, near to the Omnipotent Sovereign |
