The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
2
And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say:Transient magic.
3
And they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires;and every affair has its appointed term.
4
And certainly some narratives have come to them whereinis prevention--
5
Consummate wisdom-- but warnings do not avail;
6
So turn (your) back on them (for) the day when theinviter shall invite them to a hard task,
7
Their eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as ifthey were scattered locusts,
8
Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: Thisis a hard day.
9
Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejectedOur servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.
10
Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, comeThou then to help.
11
So We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring
12
And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs,so the water gathered together according to a measurealready ordained.
13
And We bore him on that which was made of planks andnails
14
Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who wasdenied.
15
And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyonewho
16
How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
17
And certainly We have made the Quran easy forremembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
18
Ad treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was Mypunishment and My warning!
19
Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitterill-luck
20
Tearing men away as if they were the trunks ofpalm-trees torn up.
21
How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
22
And certainly We have made the Quran easy forremembrance, but is there anyone who will mind?
23
Samood rejected the warning.
24
So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shallwe follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sureerror and distress:
25
Has the reminder been made to light upon him from amongus? Nay! he is an insolent liar!
26
Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolentone.
27
Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial forthem; therefore watch them and have patience.
28
And inform them that the water is shared between them;every share of the water shall be regulated.
29
But they called their companion, so he took (the sword)and slew (her).
30
How (great) was then My punishment and My warning!
