| | Abdul Hye rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 54:1 | | The Hour (of doom) is drawing near, and the moon has split asunder (the people of Makkah requested Muhammad to show a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon). |
| 54:2 | | Yet, when they (disbelievers) see a sign, they turn away and say: “This is continuous magic.” |
| 54:3 | | They deny (the Verses of this Qur’an) and follow their own lusts. Every matter will be settled (good deeds will take to Paradise, and evil deeds will take to hell). |
| 54:4 | | And indeed there has come to them the news (in this Qur’an about previous nations) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (from evil), |
| 54:5 | | perfect wisdom (as a warning), but (preaching of) warners don’t benefit them. |
| 54:6 | | So you (O Muhammad) withdraw from them. The Day when the caller will call them to a terrible thing. |
| 54:7 | | They will come out from their graves with their humbled eyes as if they were locusts spread abroad, |
| 54:8 | | rushing towards the caller and disbelievers will say: “This is a hard Day.” |
| 54:9 | | The people of Noah denied (their Messenger) before them. They rejected Our servant and said: “A madman!” and he was rudely rebuked and threatened. |
| 54:10 | | (After warning people for 950 years) he invoked his Lord (saying): “I have been overcome, so help me!” |
| 54:11 | | So We opened the gates of heaven with water (rain) pouring out, |
| 54:12 | | and We caused the earth to gush out with springs. So the waters met for a matter predestined. |
| 54:13 | | And We carried him on (a ship) built with planks and nails, |
| 54:14 | | floating under Our care, a reward for him (Noah) who was rejected (by disbelievers)! |
| 54:15 | | And indeed, We have left this (ship) as a sign, so is there any who will remember (or take admonition)? |
| 54:16 | | Then how terrible was My punishment and My warnings? |
| 54:17 | | And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember, and is there any who will remember (or take admonition)? |
| 54:18 | | Ad (people) denied (their Prophet Hud), then how terrible was My punishment and My warnings? |
| 54:19 | | Surely, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a Day of evil sign and continuous calamity, |
| 54:20 | | snatching out the people as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms. |
| 54:21 | | Then how terrible was My punishment and My warnings? |
| 54:22 | | And indeed We have made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember, then is there anyone who will remember (or take admonition)? |
| 54:23 | | Thamud (people) denied the warnings, |
| 54:24 | | they said: “A human alone from among us whom we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and madness! |
| 54:25 | | Is it that the reminder is sent only to him (prophet Saleh) from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!” |
| 54:26 | | (Allah said to Saleh): “Tomorrow they will come to know, who the insolent liar is! |
| 54:27 | | Surely, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them (O Saleh) and be patient! |
| 54:28 | | Inform them that the water is to be shared between them (and she-camel). Each (one’s right) to drink is being established (by turns). |
| 54:29 | | But they (people of Thamud) called one of their comrades who took (responsibility) and killed (she-camel). |
| 54:30 | | Then how terrible was My punishment and My warnings? |
| 54:31 | | Surely, We sent against them a single punishment (awful cry) and they became like the dry stubble (crushed twigs) of a fence-builder. |
| 54:32 | | And indeed, We have made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember, and is there any who will remember (or take admonition)? |
| 54:33 | | The people of Lot denied the warnings. |
| 54:34 | | Surely, We sent against them a storm of stones (which destroyed them), except the family of Lot, whom We saved in the last Hour of the night |
| 54:35 | | as a Favor from Us. Thus We do reward those who give thanks (by obeying Us). |
| 54:36 | | And indeed he (Lot) had warned them of Our grasp but they doubted the warnings! |
| 54:37 | | And indeed they even sought to lure him about his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes and said: “Now you taste My punishment and My warnings.” |
| 54:38 | | And surely, a lasting punishment seized them early in the morning |
| 54:39 | | (as if to say): “Now you taste My punishment and My warnings.” |
| 54:40 | | And indeed, We have made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember, and is there any who will remember (or take admonition)? |
| 54:41 | | And indeed, the warnings came to the people of Pharaoh (through Moses and Aaron). |
| 54:42 | | (They) denied Our all signs. So We seized them with a seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable. |
| 54:43 | | Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these (nations of Noah, Lot, Saleh, and the people of Pharaoh who were destroyed)? Or have you granted immunity (against Our punishment) in the divine Scriptures? |
| 54:44 | | Or do they say: “We are great in numbers, and we shall be victorious?” |
| 54:45 | | Their huge number will be put to flight, and they will show their backs. |
| 54:46 | | Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter. |
| 54:47 | | Surely, the criminals are in error (in this world) and will burn (in the hell in the Hereafter). |
| 54:48 | | The Day when they will be dragged into the fire with their faces downwards, (it will be said to them): “You taste the touch of hell!” |
| 54:49 | | Surely, We have created all things with divine ordainment. |
| 54:50 | | And Our Commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye. |
| 54:51 | | And indeed, (O disbelievers) We have destroyed many like you, and is there any who will remember (or take admonition)? |
| 54:52 | | Each and everything they have done is being noted in their deed records. |
| 54:53 | | Everything, small and big, is being written down. |
| 54:54 | | Surely, the pious will be in the midst of gardens and rivers (Paradise), |
| 54:55 | | in a seat of truth (Paradise), near the most Powerful King (Allah). |
