بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ ﴿۱﴾
The Hour is drawing near, and the moon is split (in two). (1)
وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ ﴿۲﴾
Yet if they see a sign (the unbelievers) turn their backs and say: 'This is but a continuation of sorcery! ' (2)
وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُسْتَقِرٌّ ﴿۳﴾
They have belied, and follow their own fancies. But, every issue will be settled! (3)
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْبَاءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ﴿۴﴾
Tidings containing a deterrent have come to them (4)
حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ ﴿۵﴾
which are full of wisdom; but the warnings do not help. (5)
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ نُكُرٍ ﴿۶﴾
Therefore, turn away from them. On the Day when the Caller summons them to a terrible thing, (6)
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُنْتَشِرٌ ﴿۷﴾
their eyes will be humbled as they come out from their graves as if they were scattered locusts, (7)
مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ﴿۸﴾
running (with their necks extended) to the Caller. The unbelievers will say: 'This is indeed a harsh Day! ' (8)
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ ﴿۹﴾
(Long) before them the nation of Noah belied. They belied Our worshiper saying: 'Mad! ' and he was reprimanded. (9)
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ ﴿۱۰﴾
Then he supplicated to his Lord, (saying): 'I am overcome, help me! ' (10)
فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَاءٍ مُنْهَمِرٍ ﴿۱۱﴾
We opened the Gates of Heaven with torrential water (11)
وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاءُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ ﴿۱۲﴾
and caused the earth to gush with springs, so that the waters met for a predestined matter. (12)
وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
We carried him in a well built, watertight vessel made from planks (of wood) (13)
تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ ﴿۱۴﴾
that ran on under Our Eyes, a recompense for him because he had been disbelieved. (14)
وَلَقَدْ تَرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ ﴿۱۵﴾
We have left it as a sign. Is there any that will remember? (15)
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ﴿۱۶﴾

And We sent against them a howling wind in a Day of continuous of ill fortune (19)
تَنْزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُنْقَعِرٍ ﴿۲۰﴾

They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. (24)
أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ ﴿۲۵﴾
Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar. ' (25)
سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْأَشِرُ ﴿۲۶﴾
(To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. (26)

We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and have patience. (27)
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ قِسْمَةٌ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُحْتَضَرٌ ﴿۲۸﴾
