The Moon — Dr Kamal Omar Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Judgment to overtake Opponents

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝١

The Hour has come very close and the moon has developed cracks

iq'tarabati l-sāʿatu wa-inshaqqa l-qamar

وَإِن یَرَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یُعۡرِضُوا۟ وَیَقُولُوا۟ سِحۡرࣱ مُّسۡتَمِرࣱّ ۝٢

And if they will witness a sign, they will avoid and will say: “(This is) sorcery which continues to occur.”

wa-in yaraw āyatan yuʿ'riḍū wayaqūlū siḥ'run mus'tamirru

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوۤا۟ أَهۡوَاۤءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرࣲ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ ۝٣

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)

wakadhabū wa-ittabaʿū ahwāahum wakullu amrin mus'taqirru

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَاۤءِ مَا فِیهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ ۝٤

And surely, indeed there came to them of the news, that, wherein (is) a strictly warned personality

walaqad jāahum mina l-anbāi mā fīhi muz'dajaru

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَـٰلِغَةࣱۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

(The news is full of) wisdom about to penetrate (the heart) but warnings profit (them) not

ḥik'matun bālighatun famā tugh'ni l-nudhur

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ یَوۡمَ یَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

So withdraw from them. The Day the caller calls to an undesirable event

fatawalla ʿanhum yawma yadʿu l-dāʿi ilā shayin nukuri

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ یَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادࣱ مُّنتَشِرࣱ ۝٧

their eyes being humbled; they will come out of the burial-sites as if they are locusts scattered about—

khushaʿan abṣāruhum yakhrujūna mina l-ajdāthi ka-annahum jarādun muntashiru

مُّهۡطِعِینَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ یَقُولُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا یَوۡمٌ عَسِرࣱ ۝٨

hastening towards the caller. The disbelievers will say: “This is a difficult Day.”

muh'ṭiʿīna ilā l-dāʿi yaqūlu l-kāfirūna hādhā yawmun ʿasiru

۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحࣲ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجۡنُونࣱ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ ۝٩

The nation of Nuh denied before them, so they belied Our Abd (Nuh) and said: “Fanatic!” And he was insolently rebuked, warned and threatened

kadhabat qablahum qawmu nūḥin fakadhabū ʿabdanā waqālū majnūnun wa-uz'dujir

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ ۝١٠

So he invoked his Nourisher-Sustainer that: “I have been overcome, so do help in retribution.”

fadaʿā rabbahu annī maghlūbun fa-intaṣi

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰبَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ ۝١١

So We opened the gates of the heaven with water that pours forth profusely

fafataḥnā abwāba l-samāi bimāin mun'hamiri

وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُیُونࣰا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَاۤءُ عَلَىٰۤ أَمۡرࣲ قَدۡ قُدِرَ ۝١٢

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

wafajjarnā l-arḍa ʿuyūnan fal-taqā l-māu ʿalā amrin qad qudir

وَحَمَلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَ ٰحࣲ وَدُسُرࣲ ۝١٣

And We embarked him on an Ark made of planks and screws

waḥamalnāhu ʿalā dhāti alwāḥin wadusuri

تَجۡرِی بِأَعۡیُنِنَا جَزَاۤءࣰ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ۝١٤

It sails with Our Eyes (i.e., under Allahs control ), as a reward for that who had been opposed and rejected

tajrī bi-aʿyuninā jazāan liman kāna kufir

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَـٰهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝١٥

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)

walaqad taraknāhā āyatan fahal min muddakiri

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ ۝١٦

So how was My Torment and My Warnings

fakayfa kāna ʿadhābī wanudhur

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝١٧

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

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakiri

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادࣱ فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ ۝١٨

’Ad (people) belied (their Prophet Hud), so how was My Torment and My Warnings

kadhabat ʿādun fakayfa kāna ʿadhābī wanudhur

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ رِیحࣰا صَرۡصَرࣰا فِی یَوۡمِ نَحۡسࣲ مُّسۡتَمِرࣲّ ۝١٩

Verily We, We directed against them a wind blowing furiously in a day (that became unto them) a bad omen — continuous

innā arsalnā ʿalayhim rīḥan ṣarṣaran fī yawmi naḥsin mus'tamirri

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلࣲ مُّنقَعِرࣲ ۝٢٠

It uproots human beings as if they (are) stems of date-palm tree that gets uprooted

tanziʿu l-nāsa ka-annahum aʿjāzu nakhlin munqaʿiri

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ ۝٢١

So how (terrible and effective) was My Torment and My Warnings

fakayfa kāna ʿadhābī wanudhur

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝٢٢

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

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakiri

2 Thamud and Lot's People

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٢٣

Samud (people) belied the warnings

kadhabat thamūdu bil-nudhur

فَقَالُوۤا۟ أَبَشَرࣰا مِّنَّا وَ ٰحِدࣰا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥۤ إِنَّاۤ إِذࣰا لَّفِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٢٤

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.”

faqālū abasharan minnā wāḥidan nattabiʿuhu innā idhan lafī ḍalālin wasuʿuri

أَءُلۡقِیَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۢ بَیۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرࣱ ۝٢٥

Is it that Az-Zikr (‘The Message’) has been inspired unto him from amongst us? Nay! He is a liar, more mischievous one!”

a-ul'qiya l-dhik'ru ʿalayhi min bayninā bal huwa kadhābun ashiru

سَیَعۡلَمُونَ غَدࣰا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ ۝٢٦

Soon they will come to know tomorrow as to who is a liar, a more mischievous one

sayaʿlamūna ghadan mani l-kadhābu l-ashir

إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةࣰ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ ۝٢٧

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

innā mur'silū l-nāqati fit'natan lahum fa-ir'taqib'hum wa-iṣ'ṭabi

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ أَنَّ ٱلۡمَاۤءَ قِسۡمَةُۢ بَیۡنَهُمۡۖ كُلُّ شِرۡبࣲ مُّحۡتَضَرࣱ ۝٢٨

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)

wanabbi'hum anna l-māa qis'matun baynahum kullu shir'bin muḥ'taḍaru

فَنَادَوۡا۟ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ۝٢٩

But they called their companion, so he moved forward alongwith (his callers); then he hamstrung (the she-camel)

fanādaw ṣāḥibahum fataʿāṭā faʿaqar

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٠

Then how was My Torment and My Warnings

fakayfa kāna ʿadhābī wanudhur

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ صَیۡحَةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِیمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ ۝٣١

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

innā arsalnā ʿalayhim ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan fakānū kahashīmi l-muḥ'taẓir

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝٣٢

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

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakiri

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطِۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٣٣

The nation of Lout belied the warners

kadhabat qawmu lūṭin bil-nudhur

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا إِلَّاۤ ءَالَ لُوطࣲۖ نَّجَّیۡنَـٰهُم بِسَحَرࣲ ۝٣٤

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

innā arsalnā ʿalayhim ḥāṣiban illā āla lūṭin najjaynāhum bisaḥari

نِّعۡمَةࣰ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی مَن شَكَرَ ۝٣٥

as a Favour and Grace from Us. Thus We reward that who gave thanks

niʿ'matan min ʿindinā kadhālika najzī man shakar

وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٣٦

And surely, indeed he (the Prophet Lout) did warn them regarding Our Grip (and Seizure) but they disputed about the warnings

walaqad andharahum baṭshatanā fatamāraw bil-nudhur

وَلَقَدۡ رَ ٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَیۡفِهِۦ فَطَمَسۡنَاۤ أَعۡیُنَهُمۡ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٧

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.”

walaqad rāwadūhu ʿan ḍayfihi faṭamasnā aʿyunahum fadhūqū ʿadhābī wanudhur

وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُم بُكۡرَةً عَذَابࣱ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ ۝٣٨

And surely, indeed an abiding torment made them face the early hours of the morning

walaqad ṣabbaḥahum buk'ratan ʿadhābun mus'taqirru

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ ۝٣٩

“Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings.”

fadhūqū ʿadhābī wanudhur

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝٤٠

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

walaqad yassarnā l-qur'āna lildhik'ri fahal min muddakiri

3 Pharaoh and the Prophet's Opponents

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٤١

And surely, indeed warners did come to the followers of Firaun

walaqad jāa āla fir'ʿawna l-nudhur

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ أَخۡذَ عَزِیزࣲ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ ۝٤٢

They belied Our Signs — all of them; so We seized them in a seizure coming from (the) All-Mighty, (the) Omnipotent

kadhabū biāyātinā kullihā fa-akhadhnāhum akhdha ʿazīzin muq'tadiri

أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَاۤءَةࣱ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٤٣

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

akuffārukum khayrun min ulāikum am lakum barāatun fī l-zubur

أَمۡ یَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِیعࣱ مُّنتَصِرࣱ ۝٤٤

Do they say: 'we are allies, able to get aid and assistance and then take revenge?

am yaqūlūna naḥnu jamīʿun muntaṣiru

سَیُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَیُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ۝٤٥

Soon the allied group shall be put to rout and they will show their backs (in retreat)

sayuh'zamu l-jamʿu wayuwallūna l-dubur

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ۝٤٦

Nay! The Hour is their promised time (for their full recompense); and the Hour is harder and more bitter (for the disbelievers)

bali l-sāʿatu mawʿiduhum wal-sāʿatu adhā wa-amarr

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرࣲ ۝٤٧

Verily, the criminals and the guilty are in error and doom

inna l-muj'rimīna fī ḍalālin wasuʿuri

یَوۡمَ یُسۡحَبُونَ فِی ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ۝٤٨

The Day they are dragged in the Fire on their faces (they would be told): “Taste you the touch of Saqar (Hell).”

yawma yus'ḥabūna fī l-nāri ʿalā wujūhihim dhūqū massa saqar

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَـٰهُ بِقَدَرࣲ ۝٤٩

Verily We: every thing — We created it under a measure (and assessment)

innā kulla shayin khalaqnāhu biqadari

وَمَاۤ أَمۡرُنَاۤ إِلَّا وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ ۝٥٠

And Our Command is not but (just) a single (decree) like a twinkling of the eye

wamā amrunā illā wāḥidatun kalamḥin bil-baṣar

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَاۤ أَشۡیَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝٥١

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)

walaqad ahlaknā ashyāʿakum fahal min muddakiri

وَكُلُّ شَیۡءࣲ فَعَلُوهُ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٥٢

And each and every thing they have done it, is in the sheets (of their personal file)

wakullu shayin faʿalūhu fī l-zubur

وَكُلُّ صَغِیرࣲ وَكَبِیرࣲ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ ۝٥٣

And every thing small and big is written and recorded in straight lines (with the angels)

wakullu ṣaghīrin wakabīrin mus'taṭaru

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَنَهَرࣲ ۝٥٤

Verily, the Muttaqun will be in the midst of Gardens and river

inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin wanahari

فِی مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِیكࣲ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ ۝٥٥

in a site and seat of Truth, near (the) Most Majestic Sovereign, Omnipotent
