The Hour has drawn near, and the moon is split.
And if they see a sign they turn away and they say, 'Continuous magic.'
And they denied and followed their lusts; and every affair is settled.
And surely, certainly there came to them of the information, that in which is restraint.
Reaching wisdom, but then the warnings do not avail.
So turn away from them. On the day the caller will call to a terrible thing.
Their eyes humbled, they will come out of the graves as if they were dispersed locusts.
Hurrying to the caller. The disbelievers will say, 'This is a difficult day.'
The people of Noah denied before them, then they called Our servant a liar; and they said, 'Mad.' And he was chid.
So he called on his Lord that, 'I am overcome, so help.'
Then We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring forth.
And We made the earth flow forth in springs, then the water met upon a certainly decreed matter.
And We carried him on a possessor of planks and nails,
Sailing in Our eyes, a recompense for he who was disbelieved.
And surely, certainly We left it as a sign, so is there anyone who remembers?
Then how was My punishment and My warnings?
And surely, certainly We made the Quran easy to remember, so is there anyone who remembers?
'Ad denied; then how was My punishment and My warnings?
Indeed We, We sent upon them an intensely cold wind in a day of continuous misfortune.
Pulling out people as if they were trunks of uprooted palm trees.
Then how was My punishment and My warnings?
And surely, certainly We made the Quran easy to remember, so is there anyone who remembers?
Thamud called the warnings lies,
Then they said, 'A mortal, one of us, shall we follow him? Indeed, we then will surely be in error and madness.
Has the reminder been cast upon him from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar.'
Soon they will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
Indeed, We are sending the she-camel, a trial for them, so watch them and be patient.
And inform them that the water will be divided between them; each draught will be attended.
Then they called their companion, then he took, then he hamstrung.
Then how was My punishment and My warnings?
Indeed We, We sent upon them one noise, and they were like the dry stalks of the fold builder.
And surely, certainly We made the Quran easy to remember, so is there anyone who remembers?
The people of Lot called the warnings lies.
Indeed We, We sent down upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot, We saved them before dawn,
A favour from Us; thus We recompense he who is thankful.
And surely, certainly he warned them of Our assault, and they doubted the warnings.
And surely, certainly they endeavoured to turn him from his guests; so We effaced their eyes. So taste My punishment and My warnings.
And surely, certainly a settled punishment came to them in the morning, early morning.
So taste My punishment and My warnings.
And surely, certainly We made the Quran easy to remember, so is there anyone who remembers?
And surely, certainly the warnings came to the people of Pharaoh.
They called Our signs lies, all of them, so We seized them, a seizing of a mighty, powerful one.
Are your disbelievers better than those? Or is there for you an exemption in the scriptures?
Or do they say, 'We are all together victorious.’?
Soon the troop will be routed and will turn the back.
Nay, the Hour is their appointed time. And the Hour is most grievous and most bitter.
Indeed, the sinners are in error and madness.
On the day they will be dragged into the fire upon their faces. Taste the touch of hell.
Indeed We, everything, We created it by decree,
And Our command is not except one, like the glance with the eye.
And surely, certainly We destroyed your sects, so is there anyone who remembers?
And everything they did is in the scriptures;
And every small and great is written.
Indeed, those who fear are in gardens and rivers,
In a seat of truth, with a powerful king.
