| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah The Moon(al-Qamar)
--- |
|---|
| 54:1 | | The Hour has come very close and the moon has developed cracks |
| 54:2 | | And if they will witness a sign, they will avoid and will say: “(This is) sorcery which continues to occur.” |
| 54:3 | | And (this response would be because) they have denied (Al-Kitab) and have obeyed their vain desires. And every matter has a specified time and place (for occurance) |
| 54:4 | | And surely, indeed there came to them of the news, that, wherein (is) a strictly warned personality |
| 54:5 | | (The news is full of) wisdom about to penetrate (the heart) but warnings profit (them) not |
| 54:6 | | So withdraw from them. The Day the caller calls to an undesirable event |
| 54:7 | | their eyes being humbled; they will come out of the burial-sites as if they are locusts scattered about— |
| 54:8 | | hastening towards the caller. The disbelievers will say: “This is a difficult Day.” |
| 54:9 | | The nation of Nuh denied before them, so they belied Our Abd (Nuh) and said: “Fanatic!” And he was insolently rebuked, warned and threatened |
| 54:10 | | So he invoked his Nourisher-Sustainer that: “I have been overcome, so do help in retribution.” |
| 54:11 | | So We opened the gates of the heaven with water that pours forth profusely |
| 54:12 | | And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs. So the water (from the sky and the earth) met for a matter — surely specified, assessed and measured one |
| 54:13 | | And We embarked him on an Ark made of planks and screws |
| 54:14 | | It sails with Our Eyes (i.e., under Allahs control ), as a reward for that who had been opposed and rejected |
| 54:15 | | And surely, without doubt We left that (incident in human history as) a land-mark. Then is there any one out of that who becomes a recipient (to the lessons in such incidents) |
| 54:16 | | So how was My Torment and My Warnings |
| 54:17 | | And surely, indeed We have made Al-Quran most easy for propagation and understanding. So is there any one out of that who becomes a recipient |
| 54:18 | | ’Ad (people) belied (their Prophet Hud), so how was My Torment and My Warnings |
| 54:19 | | Verily We, We directed against them a wind blowing furiously in a day (that became unto them) a bad omen — continuous |
| 54:20 | | It uproots human beings as if they (are) stems of date-palm tree that gets uprooted |
| 54:21 | | So how (terrible and effective) was My Torment and My Warnings |
| 54:22 | | And surely, indeed We have made Al-Quran most easy for propagation and understanding. So is there any one out of that who becomes a recipient |
| 54:23 | | Samud (people) belied the warnings |
| 54:24 | | So they said: “What! A human being from amongst us — all alone, (would) we follow him? Truly we then surely (would be) in error as well as (in) difficulty.” |
| 54:25 | | Is it that Az-Zikr (‘The Message’) has been inspired unto him from amongst us? Nay! He is a liar, more mischievous one!” |
| 54:26 | | Soon they will come to know tomorrow as to who is a liar, a more mischievous one |
| 54:27 | | Verily, We are about to send a she-camel as a test and trial unto them. So watch and wait for them and be steadfast |
| 54:28 | | and inform them that the water stands divided amongst them. All drinhead of state is made available (so as to satisfy the people as well as the she-camel) |
| 54:29 | | But they called their companion, so he moved forward alongwith (his callers); then he hamstrung (the she-camel) |
| 54:30 | | Then how was My Torment and My Warnings |
| 54:31 | | Verily We, We sent against them a single Saiha (an awful wild sound), so they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle |
| 54:32 | | And surely, indeed We have made Al-Quran most easy for propagation and understanding. So is there any one out of that who becomes a recipient |
| 54:33 | | The nation of Lout belied the warners |
| 54:34 | | Verily We, We sent against them a violent storm showering stones (on them) except the family-members of Lout (but not his wife). We saved them by the pre-dawn hours |
| 54:35 | | as a Favour and Grace from Us. Thus We reward that who gave thanks |
| 54:36 | | And surely, indeed he (the Prophet Lout) did warn them regarding Our Grip (and Seizure) but they disputed about the warnings |
| 54:37 | | And (the people of his nation) surely, indeed attempted to snatch away his guests, so We blinded their eyes (saying): “So taste you My Torment and My Warnings.” |
| 54:38 | | And surely, indeed an abiding torment made them face the early hours of the morning |
| 54:39 | | “Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings.” |
| 54:40 | | And surely, indeed We have made Al-Quran most easy for propagation and understanding. So is there any one out of that who becomes a recipient |
| 54:41 | | And surely, indeed warners did come to the followers of Firaun |
| 54:42 | | They belied Our Signs — all of them; so We seized them in a seizure coming from (the) All-Mighty, (the) Omnipotent |
| 54:43 | | Are disbelievers among you better than your those people (i.e., the nations of Nuh, Hud, Salih, Lout and Firaun)? Or (there exists) for you an immunity in Az-Zubur |
| 54:44 | | Do they say: 'we are allies, able to get aid and assistance and then take revenge? |
| 54:45 | | Soon the allied group shall be put to rout and they will show their backs (in retreat) |
| 54:46 | | Nay! The Hour is their promised time (for their full recompense); and the Hour is harder and more bitter (for the disbelievers) |
| 54:47 | | Verily, the criminals and the guilty are in error and doom |
| 54:48 | | The Day they are dragged in the Fire on their faces (they would be told): “Taste you the touch of Saqar (Hell).” |
| 54:49 | | Verily We: every thing — We created it under a measure (and assessment) |
| 54:50 | | And Our Command is not but (just) a single (decree) like a twinkling of the eye |
| 54:51 | | And surely, indeed We destroyed sects like you. So is there any one out of that who becomes a recipient (to the Knowledge in Allah’s Scripture) |
| 54:52 | | And each and every thing they have done it, is in the sheets (of their personal file) |
| 54:53 | | And every thing small and big is written and recorded in straight lines (with the angels) |
| 54:54 | | Verily, the Muttaqun will be in the midst of Gardens and river |
| 54:55 | | in a site and seat of Truth, near (the) Most Majestic Sovereign, Omnipotent |
