(Al-Qamar) (55 Verses)

# 54 The Moon (Al-Qamar) Explanation of # 54 The Moon (Al-Qamar)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

[54.1] The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.
[54.2] And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.
[54.3] They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision
[54.4] And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,
[54.5] Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.
[54.6] So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.
[54.7] With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad,
[54.8] Hastening toward the summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a hard day.
[54.9] The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed.
[54.10] So he cried unto his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help.
[54.11] Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water
[54.12] And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose.
[54.13] And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails,
[54.14] That ran (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected.
[54.15] And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that remembereth ?
[54.16] Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
[54.17] And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?
[54.18] (The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings.
[54.19] Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity,
[54.20] Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm-trees.
[54.21] Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
[54.22] And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?
[54.23] (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings
[54.24] For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow ? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness.
[54.25] Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us ? Nay, but he is a rash liar.
[54.26] (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar.
[54.27] Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience;
[54.28] And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.
[54.29] But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her).
[54.30] Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!
[54.31] Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold.
[54.32] And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?
[54.33] The folk of Lot rejected warnings.
[54.34] Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night,
[54.35] As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks.
[54.36] And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings.
[54.37] They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings!
[54.38] And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning.
[54.39] Now taste My punishment after My warnings!
[54.40] And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?
[54.41] And warnings came in truth unto the house of Pharaoh
[54.42] Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.
[54.43] Are your disbelievers better than those, or have ye some immunity in the scriptures ?
[54.44] Or say they: We are a host victorious ?
[54.45] The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee.
[54.46] Nay, but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure).
[54.47] Lo! the guilty are in error and madness.
[54.48] On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell.
[54.49] Lo! We have created every thing by measure.
[54.50] And Our commandment is but one (commandment), as the twinkling of an eye.
[54.51] And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembereth ?
[54.52] And every thing they did is in the scriptures,
[54.53] And every small and great thing is recorded.
[54.54] Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers,
[54.55] Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King.
