بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad SAW to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon).
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌۭ مُّسْتَمِرٌّۭ
Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic."
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍۢ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ
Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun
They belied (the Verses of Allah, this Quran), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled [according to the kind of deeds (for the doer of good deeds, his deeds will take him to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell)].
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun
And indeed there has come to them news (in this Quran) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil),
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru
Perfect wisdom (this Quran), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not,

Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin
So (O Muhammad SAW) withdraw from them. The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌۭ مُّنتَشِرٌۭ
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad,

MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun
Hastening towards the caller, the disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day."
۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌۭ وَٱزْدُجِرَ
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira
The people of Nuh (Noah) denied (their Messenger) before them, they rejected Our slave, and said: "A madman!" and he was insolently rebuked and threatened.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌۭ فَٱنتَصِرْ
FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
Then he invoked his Lord (saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!"

Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs. So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined.

Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

Floating under Our Eyes, a reward for him who had been rejected!
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةًۭ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ
Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin
For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!"
أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌۭ
Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun
"Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!"

SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru
Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one!
