1
The Last Day came near, and the moon split apart.
2
And when they see a sign, they turn away and say, "Just a customary magic!"
3
And they denied and followed their own desires, whereas each matter has been decided!
4
And indeed the news which had a lot of deterrence, came to them.
5
The pinnacle of wisdom – so how will the Heralds of warning provide any benefit?
6
Therefore turn away from them; on the day when the announcer will call towards a severe unknown matter -
7
They will come out from the graves with eyes lowered, as if they were spread locusts.
8
Rushing towards the caller; the disbelievers will say, "This is a tough day."
9
Before these, the people of Nooh denied and they belied Our bondman and said, "He is a madman" and rebuffed him.
10
He therefore prayed to his Lord, "I am overpowered, therefore avenge me."
11
We therefore opened the gates of heaven, with water flowing furiously.
12
And caused springs to gush out from the earth, so that the two waters met totalling a quantity that had been destined.
13
And We carried Nooh upon a ship of wooden planks and nails.
14
Sailing in front of Our sight; as a reward for the sake of one who was rejected.
15
And We left it as a sign – so is there one who would ponder?
16
So how did My punishment turn out, and My threats?
17
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember?
18
The tribe of A'ad denied – so how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings?
19
We indeed sent towards them a severe windstorm, on a day the ill luck of which lasted upon them forever.
20
Smashing down men as if they were uprooted trunks of date palms.
21
So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings?
22
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember?
23
The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers.
24
So they said, "What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!"
25
What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.
26
It was said to Saleh, "They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar."
27
We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.
28
And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.
29
In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel.
30
So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings?
