54. Al-Qamar - (The Moon)

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:1]
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:2]
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:3]
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:4]
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:5]
Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:6]
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:7]
They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:8]
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:9]
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:10]
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:11]
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:12]
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:13]
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:14]
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
Recitation:
English Yusuf Ali: [54:15]
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
