Al-Qamar

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them]

So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

Thamud denied the warning

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning

Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

The people of Lot denied the warning

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning

And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment

So taste My punishment and warning

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat]

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar

Indeed, all things We created with predestination

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember

And everything they did is in written records

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability
