| | Syed Vickar Ahamed rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 54:1 | | The Hour (of Judgment) has drawn nearer, and the moon has been torn apart (cleft asunder. |
| 54:2 | | And if they see a Sign they turn away, and say: "This is persistent magic." |
| 54:3 | | They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) desires and every matter has its appointed time |
| 54:4 | | And indeed there have already come to them, recitations in which there is (enough) warnin |
| 54:5 | | Perfect wisdom (in this Quran)— But (the preaching of) warners does not profit them |
| 54:6 | | Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day when the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair |
| 54:7 | | They will come forth— Their eyes humbled—. From (their) graves, (dazed) like locusts scattered aboard |
| 54:8 | | Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller! The unbelievers will say: "Hard is this Day!" |
| 54:9 | | Before them, the people of Nuh (Noah) rejected (their prophet): They rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!," and he was driven out |
| 54:10 | | Then he called on his Lord: "I am the one overcome: Then You help (me)!" |
| 54:11 | | So, We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth |
| 54:12 | | And We caused the earth to gush forth with spring so, the waters met (and rose) to the decreed level |
| 54:13 | | And We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks held together with palm-fiber |
| 54:14 | | She (the Ark) floated under Our eyes (and care): A reward to the one who had been rejected (with contempt by his own people) |
| 54:15 | | And indeed, We have left this as a Sign (for all time): Then is there any who will receive the teachings |
| 54:16 | | Then! How (terrible) was my Penalty and My Warning |
| 54:17 | | And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings |
| 54:18 | | The ‘Ad (people also) rejected (the Truth): Then! How terrible was my Penalty and My Warning |
| 54:19 | | Verily, We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent disaster |
| 54:20 | | Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground) |
| 54:21 | | Then! How (terrible) was my Penalty and My Warning |
| 54:22 | | And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings |
| 54:23 | | The (people of) Samood (Thamud), also rejected (their) Warners |
| 54:24 | | And they said: "A man! A solitary one from among ourselves! Shall we follow him? Truly, should we then be straying in mind, and mad |
| 54:25 | | "Is it that the Message sent to him of all people amongst us? No! He is a liar, a disrespectful one!" |
| 54:26 | | They will know the next day, who is the liar, the disrespectful one |
| 54:27 | | Verily, We will send the she-camel by the way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih) and keep yourself in patience |
| 54:28 | | And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each ones right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns) |
| 54:29 | | But they called to their companion (in evil) and he took a sword in hand, and killed (the she-camel cutting her hamstrings) |
| 54:30 | | Then! How (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning |
| 54:31 | | Verily, We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one that keeps the cattle |
| 54:32 | | And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings |
| 54:33 | | The People of Lut (Lot) rejected (his) warning |
| 54:34 | | Verily, We sent against them a violent tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: (And) We delivered them by early part of the morning&mdash |
| 54:35 | | As a Grace from Us: Thus do We reward those who give thanks |
| 54:36 | | And (Lut) did warn them of Our punishment, but they disputed about the Warning |
| 54:37 | | And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, so, We blinded their eyes. (And they heard:) "Now you taste My Wrath and My Warning." |
| 54:38 | | And Verily, early on the next day an abiding punishment seized them |
| 54:39 | | "So you taste My Wrath and My Warning." |
| 54:40 | | And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings |
| 54:41 | | Also to the People of Firon (Pharaoh), before have, came Warners (from Allah) |
| 54:42 | | They (the people) rejected all Our Signs; So, We seized them with such penalty (that comes) from Almighty (Aziz, Exalted in Power), Able and Powerful (Muqtadir) to enforce His Will |
| 54:43 | | Are your unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they were or have you an immunity in the Sacred Books |
| 54:44 | | Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves?" |
| 54:45 | | Soon will their multitude be put to flight and they will show their backs |
| 54:46 | | No! But the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most painful and most bitter |
| 54:47 | | Truly, those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad |
| 54:48 | | The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (it will be said:) "You taste the touch of Hell!" |
| 54:49 | | Surely, all things We have created in proportion and measure |
| 54:50 | | And Our Command is but a single (Act)— Like the twinkle of an eye |
| 54:51 | | And indeed (often) in the past, We have destroyed groups like you: Then is there any who will receive the teachings |
| 54:52 | | And all that they do is noted in (their) books (of deeds) |
| 54:53 | | And every matter, small and large, is on record |
| 54:54 | | Verily, as to those who act right, they will be in the in the midst of gardens and streams |
| 54:55 | | In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Almighty (Muqtadir, Omnipotent Allah) |
