1
The hour (of judgment) approaches as moon is being split.
2
The disbelievers, however, make fun of indications of God and refer to it as an act of magic.
3
They deny the Lord and follow their own (low worldly) desires. Every prescribed event, however, will take place when its time arrives.
4
The disbelievers have heard about the other prophets and it is easy for them to cross check the truth.
5
Unfortunately, they do not take these wise admonitions seriously.
6
Leave them alone then till they are called to face the awesome event.
7
They will come out of their graves with the most horrified eyes resembling to a bunch of locusts.
8
Towards facing their terrible destiny, they will say: "Indeed this is an awful day. "
9
The people of Noah, too, made fun of my servant. They called him a crazy man and ex-communicated him!
10
Noah (in despair) called upon his Lord: "I am overcome, would you come to my rescue"
11
So I (God) opened the gates of the sky and poured down the water.
12
As to the earth, I (God) gushed forth springs so that the water reached as high as desired.
13
I (God) carried Noah, then, on a bunch of planks fastened by palm fibers.
14
Under My watchful eyes, Noah floated to the safety. What a terrible punishment it was for the disbelievers.
15
This is left as a warning sign; is there anyone who minds an admonition?
16
How terrible was My (God’s) punishment after My warnings.
17
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition?
18
The tribe of Ad also denied their prophet. How true was my warning and how awful my punishment.
19
Then one day I sent them a strong storm; a nasty storm that brought them nothing but misery.
20
The storm was tossing people around as though they were decayed palm tree trunks.
21
What a truthful warning and what a sever punishment.
22
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition?
23
The tribe of Thamud also denied their warnings.
24
They said: "Are we crazy to follow a lonely person who is just a human being like us?"
25
"Is there no one better among us worthy of receiving God’s messages? Indeed this “prophet" is a liar who brags about his closeness to God”
26
Tomorrow they will find out who the liar is. "
27
"Tomorrow we will send a camel to try their obedience with. Watch their behavior with patience."
28
Let them know that they have to share their spring water with the camel. "
29
Instead, They commissioned a clan member to kill the camel.
30
How terrible was My (God’s) punishment after My warnings.
31
I sent them only one blow which made them look like harvested hay.
32
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition?
33
The people of Lot also denied their prophet’s warnings.
34
I (God) showered them with rocks. Only Lot’s family was saved at dawn.
35
I (God) blessed him and his family; this is the way that I reward the grateful ones.
36
Lot warned his people about God’s upcoming punishment but they made jokes and laughed at him.
37
They verbally abused Lot’s honorable guests. That is why, I made them blind: Suffer my punishment; you have been warned.
38
Then early next morning a disaster struck them.
39
Suffer my punishment; you have been warned.
40
I (God) have made Qur’an easy to understand; is there anyone who minds an admonition?
41
Pharaoh’s people were warned.
42
They denied all My Warnings. Consequently, I punished them in a manner that the Almighty Powerful punishes.
43
Do you disbeliever think that you are better than the ones before you? Is there any exemptions for you in the Scriptures?
44
Do they believe that by sticking together they will win?
45
Pretty soon you will show your back on flying.
46
They will see the real misery, however, on the Day of their Resurrection;… it is far worse and more painful.
47
The wicked people who have chosen the wrong path will be chained and dragged into Hell.
48
When they are thrown into fire, they will be told: Taste now the flame of Hell. "
49
I have created everything with a pre-destined fate.
50
It will take only a twinkle of an eye for My (God’s) command to be fulfilled.
51
I (God) have destroyed many like you as an example; is there anyone who wants to take a lesson?
52
Whatever done is registered in a Book.
53
The Book covers everything; no matter how grave or immaterial it seems to be.
54
As to those who minded their Lord, they will end up in gardens with the streams.
55
In a place of true honor: At the presence of the Most Powerful King.
