Al-Qamar

The Hour of Resurrection drew near and the moon split asunder.

(Regardless of any Signs these people see), they turn away and say: “This is an ongoing sorcery.”

They also gave the lie to (the splitting asunder of the moon) and only followed their desires. Yet everything is destined to reach an end.

Surely there came to them narratives (of the ancient nations) that should suffice to deter (them from transgression),

narratives that are full of consummate wisdom. But warnings do not avail them.

So turn away from them, (O Prophet). On the Day when a caller shall call them to a thing most terrible,

with down-cast eyes they shall go forth from their graves, as though they were scattered locusts.

They shall be hurrying forth towards the caller, and the unbelievers (who had once denied this Day), will say: “This is a woeful Day.”

Before them Noah's people also gave the lie (to his Message). They rejected Our servant as a liar, saying: “He is a madman”; and he was rebuffed.

Then he called upon His Lord: “Verily I am vanquished; so come You to my aid.”
