| | Shakir rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 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 pourin |
| 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 nail |
| 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 wh |
| 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-luc |
| 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 |
