| | Farook Malik rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 54:1 | | The Hour of Doom is drawing near, the moon has split asunder; which is a clear proof that the same thing can happen to the earth |
| 54:2 | | Yet when they see a sign, the unbelievers turn their backs and say: "This is an ingenious magic." |
| 54:3 | | They deny this and keep on following their own fancies. Ultimately every matter shall be laid to rest |
| 54:4 | | There has already come to them the information of former nations containing enough deterrent |
| 54:5 | | and profound wisdom to serve as a warning, but warnings are of no use to these people |
| 54:6 | | Therefore, O Prophet, let them be. On the Day when the caller will call them to a terrible event |
| 54:7 | | They shall come out from their graves, like swarming locusts, with downcast eyes |
| 54:8 | | rushing towards the caller and the same unbelievers will cry: "This is indeed an awful Day!" |
| 54:9 | | Long before them, the people of Noah disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, called him a madman and drove him out |
| 54:10 | | After admonishing the people for 950 years, finally he cried out: "Help me, O Lord, I have been overcome!" |
| 54:11 | | So We opened the gates of heaven with pouring rai |
| 54:12 | | and caused the earth to burst with gushing springs, and the waters met to fulfill the decreed end |
| 54:13 | | We carried him in an Ark built with planks and nails |
| 54:14 | | which drifted on under Our care: a reward for him (Noah) who was denied by the unbelievers |
| 54:15 | | We have left that Ark as a sign, so is there any who would take admonition |
| 54:16 | | How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning |
| 54:17 | | We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy to understand the admonition: but is there any who would take admonition |
| 54:18 | | Likewise the people of 'Ad did not believe then how terrible was My scourge and how clear My Warning |
| 54:19 | | We let loose on them a tornado, on the day of their bitter misfortune |
| 54:20 | | which snatched them off like trunks of uprooted palm-trees |
| 54:21 | | How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning |
| 54:22 | | We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy to understand the admonition, so is there any who would take admonition |
| 54:23 | | The people of Thamud disbelieved Our warning |
| 54:24 | | saying: "Are we to follow a human who stands alone among us? That would surely be an error and madness |
| 54:25 | | Was he the only person among us to receive this warning? Nay! He is indeed an insolent liar." |
| 54:26 | | To Our Messenger Saleh, We said: "Tomorrow they shall find out who is an insolent liar |
| 54:27 | | We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them. Therefore, watch them and have patience |
| 54:28 | | Tell them that the water must be shared between them and the she-camel, and each will come to the water at its own turn |
| 54:29 | | At last the people of Thamud called out to one of their companions, who took the responsibility and hamstrung her |
| 54:30 | | Then how terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning |
| 54:31 | | We let loose on them one mighty blast and they became like the trampled twigs used by a fence builder |
| 54:32 | | We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy to understand the admonition, so is there any who would take admonition |
| 54:33 | | Another example is the people of Lot who disbelieved Our warning |
| 54:34 | | We let loose on them a stone-charged tornado which spared none except Lot’s household, whom We saved by early daw |
| 54:35 | | through Our grace. Thus do We reward those who give thanks |
| 54:36 | | Lot did warn them of Our scourge but they doubted his warnings |
| 54:37 | | They even sought to snatch away his guests from him but We blinded their eyes, and said: "Now taste My punishment and the result of disbelieving My warning." |
| 54:38 | | At daybreak they were overtaken by a lasting punishmen |
| 54:39 | | as if to say: "Now taste My punishment and the result of disbelieving My warning." |
| 54:40 | | We have indeed made the Qur’an very easy to understand the admonition, so is there any who would take admonition |
| 54:41 | | My warnings also came to the people of Pharaoh |
| 54:42 | | They disbelieved all Our signs. Consequently, We seized them with a seizure of the Mighty, Powerful |
| 54:43 | | O Qureysh, are your unbelievers better than they were, or have you been granted an immunity in the Sacred Books |
| 54:44 | | Or, do they say: "Acting together, we can defend ourselves?" |
| 54:45 | | Soon will their multitude be routed and put to flight |
| 54:46 | | Nay! The Hour of Judgment is the time promised to deal with them. That hour will be the most grievous and bitter |
| 54:47 | | Yet, surely the wicked people persist in error and madness |
| 54:48 | | On that Day when they will be dragged into the fire with their faces downwards, We shall say: "Feel the touch of hell!" |
| 54:49 | | Surely We have created everything in perfect ordainment (destiny and purpose) |
| 54:50 | | We command but once and Our will is done in the twinkling of an eye |
| 54:51 | | O disbelievers, We have already destroyed many like you. Will you not take admonition |
| 54:52 | | All that they do is being added to their record books |
| 54:53 | | every action, small and big is being noted down |
| 54:54 | | Surely the righteous will be in the midst of gardens and rivers |
| 54:55 | | a place of true honor, in the presence of Almighty Sovereign |
