Al-Qamar


The Hour has drawn near and the moon was split ˹in two˺.
ﮱﯓﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﰁ​

Yet, whenever they see a sign, they turn away, saying, “Same old magic!”
ﯚﯛﯜﯝﯞﯟﯠ ﰂ​

They rejected ˹the truth˺ and followed their own desires—and every matter will be settled—
ﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨ ﰃ​

even though the stories ˹of destroyed nations˺ that have already come to them are a sufficient deterrent.
ﯪﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯ ﰄ​

˹This Quran is˺ profound ˹in˺ wisdom, but warnings are of no benefit ˹to them˺.
ﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹ ﰅ​

So turn away from them ˹O Prophet˺. ˹And wait for˺ the Day ˹when˺ the caller will summon ˹them˺ for something horrifying.
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘ ﰆ​

With eyes downcast, they will come forth from the graves as if they were swarming locusts,
ﭚﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟﭠﭡﭢ ﰇ​

rushing towards the caller. The disbelievers will cry, “This is a difficult Day!”
ﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬﭭ ﰈ​

Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺ and rejected Our servant, calling ˹him˺ insane. And he was intimidated.
ﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﰉ​

So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help ˹me˺!”
ﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹ ﰊ​

So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring rain,
ﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃ ﰋ​

and caused the earth to burst with springs, so the waters met for a fate already set.
ﮅﮆﮇﮈﮉ ﰌ​

We carried him on that ˹Ark made˺ of planks and nails,
ﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏﮐ ﰍ​

sailing under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes—a ˹fair˺ punishment on behalf of the one ˹they˺ denied.
ﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗ ﰎ​

We certainly left this as a sign. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
ﮙﮚﮛﮜ ﰏ​

Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
ﮞﮟﮠﮡﮢﮣﮤ ﰐ​

And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫ ﰑ​

’Ȃd ˹also˺ rejected ˹the truth˺. Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!

Indeed, We sent against them a furious wind, on a day of unrelenting misery,
ﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﰓ​

ﯟﯠﯡﯢ ﰔ​

Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
ﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨﯩﯪ ﰕ​

And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
ﯬﯭﯮ ﰖ​

Thamûd rejected the warnings ˹as well˺,
ﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹ ﰗ​

arguing, “How can we follow one ˹average˺ human being from among us? We would then truly be misguided and insane.
ﯻﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁﰂﰃ ﰘ​

Has the revelation been sent down ˹only˺ to him out of ˹all of˺ us? In fact, he is a boastful liar.”
ﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉ ﰙ​

˹It was revealed to Ṣâliḥ,˺ “They will soon know who the boastful liar is.
ﰋﰌﰍﰎﰏﰐﰑ ﰚ​

We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them ˹closely˺, and have patience.

ﭛﭜﭝﭞ ﰜ​

But they roused a companion of theirs, so he dared to kill ˹her˺.
ﭠﭡﭢﭣ ﰝ​

Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
ﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬ ﰞ​

Indeed, We sent against them ˹only˺ one ˹mighty˺ blast, leaving them like the twigs of fence-builders.
ﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴ ﰟ​

And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
ﭶﭷﭸﭹ ﰠ​

The people of Lot ˹also˺ rejected the warnings.
ﭻﭼﭽﭾﭿﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄ ﰡ​

We unleashed upon them a storm of stones. As for ˹the believers of˺ Lot’s family, We delivered them before dawn
ﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍ ﰢ​

as a blessing from Us. This is how We reward whoever gives thanks.

ﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯦﯧﯨﯩ ﰪ​

Now, are you ˹Meccan˺ disbelievers superior to those ˹destroyed peoples˺? Or have you ˹been granted˺ immunity ˹from punishment˺ in divine Books?
ﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯ ﰫ​

Or do they say, “We are all ˹a˺ united ˹front˺, bound to prevail.”?
ﯱﯲﯳﯴ ﰬ​

˹Soon˺ their united front will be defeated and ˹forced to˺ flee.
ﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻ ﰭ​

Everything they have done is ˹listed˺ in ˹their˺ records.
ﭥﭦﭧﭨ ﰴ​

Every matter, small and large, is written ˹precisely˺.
ﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮ ﰵ​
