Sorah Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Verses Number 55
اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ ( 1 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 1
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
وَإِن يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ ( 2 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 2
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ ( 3 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 3
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُم مِّنَ الْأَنبَاءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ( 4 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 4
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ ( 5 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 5
Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ ( 6 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 6
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ ( 7 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 7
They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ( 8 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 8
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ ( 9 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 9
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانتَصِرْ ( 10 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 10
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَاءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ ( 11 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 11
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاءُ عَلَىٰ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ ( 12 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 12
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ ( 13 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 13
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ( 14 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 14
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ( 15 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 15
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ( 16 ) Al-Qamar ( The Moon ) - Ayaa 16
But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?

"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
