Surah Al-Qamar

And if they see a sign [i.e., miracle], they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

Thamūd denied the warning.

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

As favor from Us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.

So taste My punishment and warning.

And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness..

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?

And everything they did is in written records.

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.
