The hour has come close and the moon has split.
And if they were to see every sign, they would turn aside and say: fleeting magic.
And they deny and follow their desires, and everything has its time and place.
And information has already reached them to prove them wrong.
Far-reaching wisdom, but the warnings will be of no use.
So turn away from them; on the day the caller calls to something abhorrent,
They will emerge from the graves with downcast eyes as if they were swarming locusts.
Rushing towards the caller. Those who rejected (the truth) will say: this is a difficult day.
The people of Nuh (Noah) denied before them, so they denied Our servant and said: he is possessed, and he was rejected.
So he called his Lord: I have been overcome, so help me.
Then We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring down.
And We caused springs to gush out of the earth, and the water met in accordance with a pre-arranged command.
And We carried him on a construction from planks and nails,
To float under Our eyes; a punishment for those who reject (the truth).
And We left it as a sign, so does anyone pay heed?
And how was My punishment and warning!
And We made the Qur´an easy to remember, so does anyone pay heed?
´Ad denied, so how was My punishment and warning!
We sent against them an icy wind on a final day of disaster.
It uprooted people as if they were the stumps of cut down palm trees.
And how was My punishment and warning!
And We made the Qur´an easy to remember, so does anyone pay heed?
Thamud denied the warnings.
So they said: are we to follow a single human from amongst us? This would be error and madness for us.
Did he receive the reminder amongst us? But he is an impertinent liar.
Tomorrow they will know who is the impertinent liar.
We will send them the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient.
And inform them that the water is to be shared between them, each drink will be apportioned.
Then they called their companion, so he grabbed her and bled her to death.
And how was My punishment and warning!
We sent against them a single scream, then they were like dried up fencing twigs.
And We made the Qur´an easy to remember, so does anyone pay heed?
The people of Lut (Lot) denied the warnings.
We sent against them a storm, except for the family of Lut (Lot), We rescued them at dawn.
As a blessing from Us; this is how We reward the grateful.
And he had warned them of Our grip, but they doubted the warnings.
And they desired his guests, so We blinded them, then taste Our punishment and warnings.
And the next morning the inevitable punishment greeted them.
So taste My punishment and warning!
And We made the Qur´an easy to remember, so does anyone pay heed?
And the warnings came to the family of Pharaoh.
But they denied all of Our signs, so We overtook them in a mighty and powerful way.
Are your rejecters (of the truth) better than those, or do you have an exemption in the scriptures?
Or do they say: we are a victorious crowd?
The crowd will be defeated and they will turn their backs.
But they have been promised the hour, and the hour is worse and more bitter.
The sinners are in error and madness.
On the day they will be dragged on their faces into the fire: taste the touch of hell.
For We created everything in measure.
And Our command is (given) just once, like a quick glance.
And We destroyed your factions, so does anyone pay heed?
And everything they did is in the record.
And everything small or big is recorded.
Those who beware (of Allah) will be in gardens and rivers.
In a position of sincerity with a powerful king.
