The Moon
سورة القمر
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
54:1
The Moon
ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ١
The Hour has drawn near and the moon was split ˹in two˺.
54:2
The Moon
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ٢
Yet, whenever they see a sign, they turn away, saying, “Same old magic!”
54:3
The Moon
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ٣
They rejected ˹the truth˺ and followed their own desires—and every matter will be settled—
54:4
The Moon
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ٤
even though the stories ˹of destroyed nations˺ that have already come to them are a sufficient deterrent.
54:5
The Moon
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَـٰلِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ٥
˹This Quran is˺ profound ˹in˺ wisdom, but warnings are of no benefit ˹to them˺.
54:6
The Moon
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ٦
So turn away from them ˹O Prophet˺. ˹And wait for˺ the Day ˹when˺ the caller will summon ˹them˺ for something horrifying.
54:7
The Moon
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ٧
With eyes downcast, they will come forth from the graves as if they were swarming locusts
54:8
The Moon
مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ٨
rushing towards the caller. The disbelievers will cry, “This is a difficult Day!”
54:9
The Moon
۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ٩
Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺ and rejected Our servant, calling ˹him˺ insane. And he was intimidated.
54:10
The Moon
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ١٠
So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help ˹me˺!”
54:11
The Moon
فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ١١
So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring rain
54:12
The Moon
وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ١٢
and caused the earth to burst with springs, so the waters met for a fate already set.
54:13
The Moon
وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ١٣
We carried him on that ˹Ark made˺ of planks and nails
54:14
The Moon
تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ١٤
sailing under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes—a ˹fair˺ punishment on behalf of the one ˹they˺ denied.
54:15
The Moon
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَـٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ١٥
We certainly left this as a sign. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
54:16
The Moon
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ١٦
Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
54:17
The Moon
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ١٧
And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
54:18
The Moon
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ١٨
’Ȃd ˹also˺ rejected ˹the truth˺. Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
54:19
The Moon
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ١٩
Indeed, We sent against them a furious wind, on a day of unrelenting misery
54:20
The Moon
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ٢٠
that snatched people up, leaving them like trunks of uprooted palm trees.
