1 Judgment to overtake Opponents

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝١

The hour drew near and the moon was split .

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

وَإِن یَرَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یُعۡرِضُوا۟ وَیَقُولُوا۟ سِحۡرࣱ مُّسۡتَمِرࣱّ ۝٢

And if they see a sign they turn away and say, “Magic (of old) repeated.”

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

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوۤا۟ أَهۡوَاۤءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرࣲ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ ۝٣

And they denied and followed their desires. And every affair has a (set) time/place of happening.

wakadhabū wa-ittabaʿū ahwāahum wakullu amrin mus'taqirru

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَاۤءِ مَا فِیهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ ۝٤

And there has come to them (that part) of the news in which there is (a warning for them) to restrain,

walaqad jāahum mina l-anbāi mā fīhi muz'dajaru

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَـٰلِغَةࣱۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

mature wisdom, but warnings are of no use (to them),

ḥik'matun bālighatun famā tugh'ni l-nudhur

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ یَوۡمَ یَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

so turn away from them. The day an announcer will call them towards an awful thing put,

fatawalla ʿanhum yawma yadʿu l-dāʿi ilā shayin nukuri

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ یَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادࣱ مُّنتَشِرࣱ ۝٧

with their sight humbled, they will come out of the graves, as if they were scattered locusts,

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

مُّهۡطِعِینَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ یَقُولُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا یَوۡمٌ عَسِرࣱ ۝٨

hastening with their eyes fixed towards the announcer. The infidels will say, “This is a day of difficulty.”

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

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

The people of Nuh denied before them, so they denied Our servant and said, “One influenced by jinn,” and he was scolded and driven away.

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

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ ۝١٠

Then he prayed to his Fosterer, “I am overcome so help me.”

fadaʿā rabbahu annī maghlūbun fa-intaṣi

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰبَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ ۝١١

So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring forth,

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 waters met for (the execution of) an affair already programmed.

And We carried him on (the ship) made of planks and nails (or planks tied with palm fibre),

sailing before Our eyes, a reward for him who was rejected.

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَـٰهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ ۝١٥

And We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who will mind?

so they said, “Should we follow him who is a single man from among us? We will then certainly be in error and madness.

faqālū abasharan minnā wāḥidan nattabiʿuhu innā idhan lafī ḍalālin wasuʿuri

أَءُلۡقِیَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۢ بَیۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرࣱ ۝٢٥

Has the reminder been made to come down (only) on him from among (all of) us? No, he is a self interested liar.”

And inform them that the water is to be shared between (the she camel and) them, each one should be present (for) the drink (at one’s turn).

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 took (the sword) then slew (the she camel).

And they even sought to take away from him his guests (for an evil purpose), but We blinded their eyes, so taste My punishment and My warning.

walaqad rāwadūhu ʿan ḍayfihi faṭamasnā aʿyunahum fadhūqū ʿadhābī wanudhur
