Surah “The Moon”

as rendered by [The Monotheist Group] (2011 Edition) — 55 verses

The Hour draws near, and the moon is breached
And if they see a sign, they turn away and Say: "Continuous magic!"
And they disbelieved, and followed their desires, and every old tradition
While the news had come to them in which there was sufficient warning
A perfect wisdom; but the warnings are of no benefit
So turn away from them; the Day will come when the caller will announce a terrible disaster
With their eyes humiliated, they come out of the graves like scattered locusts
Hastening towards the caller, the rejecters will Say: "This is a difficult Day."
The people of Noah disbelieved before them. They disbelieved Our servant and said: "He is crazy!" and he was oppressed
So he called on his Lord: "I am beaten, so grant me victory."
So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring water
And We caused springs to gush out of the Earth. Thus the waters met to a command which had been measured
We carried him on a craft made of slabs and mortar
It ran under Our watchful eyes; a reward for one who was rejected
And We have left it as a sign. Do any of you wish to lear
So how was My retribution after the warnings
And We made the Quran easy to learn. Do any of you wish to lear
'Aad disbelieved. So how was My retribution after the warnings
We sent upon them a violent wind, on a day of continuous misery
It uprooted the people as if they were decayed palm tree trunks
So how was My retribution after the warnings
We made the Quran easy to learn. Do any of you wish to lear
Thamud rejected the warnings
They said: "Shall we follow one of us; a human being We will then go astray, and be in Hell."
"Has the message come down to him, instead of us He is an evil liar."
They will find out tomorrow who the evil liar is
We are sending the camel as a test for them. So observe them and be patient
And inform them that the water shall be divided between them; each shall be allowed to drink in the specified time
But they called on their friend, and he was paid to slaughter
So how was My retribution after the warnings
We sent upon them one scream, whereupon they became like harvested hay
We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to lear
The people of Lot rejected the warners
We sent upon them projectiles. Except for the family of Lot, We saved them at dawn
A blessing from Us; it is thus that We reward those who are appreciative
And he warned them about Our punishment, but they ridiculed the warnings
And they sought to remove him from his guests; so We diverted their eyes. "Taste My retribution; you have been warned."
And in the early morning, a devastating retribution struck them
"Taste My retribution; you have been warned."
We made the Quran easy to learn. Do any of you wish to lear
And the warnings had come to the people of Pharaoh
They rejected all Our signs. So We took them, the taking of the Noble, the Able
Are your rejecters better than those Or have you been absolved by the Scriptur
Or do they Say: "We are a large group and we will win."
The large group will be defeated; they will turn around and flee
The Hour is their appointed time, and the Hour is far worse and more painful
The criminals are in error and will burn
The Day when they will be dragged upon their faces into the Fire: "Taste the agony of the scorching heat!"
Everything We have created in measure
And Our commands are done at once with the blink of an eye
And We have destroyed your counterparts. Do any of you wish to lear
And everything they did is in the records
And everything, small or large, is written down
The righteous will be in paradises and rivers
In a position of honour, at an Omnipotent King
