Al-Qamar 54:31–55

54:31Page 530

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَكَانُواْ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ ٣١

Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

54:32Page 530

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ٣٢

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

54:33Page 530

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطِۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ٣٣

The people of Lot denied the warning.

54:34–35Page 530

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٖۖ نَّجَّيۡنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٖ ٣٤

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn.

نِّعۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَن شَكَرَ ٣٥

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

54:36Page 530

وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡاْ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ٣٦

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.

54:37Page 530

وَلَقَدۡ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيۡفِهِۦ فَطَمَسۡنَآ أَعۡيُنَهُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ٣٧

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."

54:38–39Page 530

وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُم بُكۡرَةً عَذَابٞ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ ٣٨

And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.

فَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ٣٩

So taste My punishment and warning.

54:40Page 530

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ٤٠

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

54:41Page 530

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ ٤١

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.

54:42Page 530

كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُمۡ أَخۡذَ عَزِيزٖ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ ٤٢

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

54:43Page 530

أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡ أُوْلَٰٓئِكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٞ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ ٤٣

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scriptures?

54:44Page 530

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِيعٞ مُّنتَصِرٞ ٤٤

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

54:45Page 530

سَيُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ٤٥

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].¹

54:46Page 530

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ٤٦

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

54:47–48Page 530

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٖ ٤٧

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.¹.

يَوۡمَ يُسۡحَبُونَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُواْ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ٤٨

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."¹

54:49Page 530

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٖ ٤٩

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.

54:50Page 531

وَمَآ أَمۡرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٞ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ ٥٠

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

54:51Page 531

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ٥١

And We have already destroyed your kinds,¹ so is there any who will remember?

54:52Page 531

وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٖ فَعَلُوهُ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ ٥٢

And everything they did is in written records.

54:53Page 531

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٖ وَكَبِيرٖ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ ٥٣

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

54:54Page 531

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَنَهَرٖ ٥٤

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,

54:55Page 531

فِي مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٖ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ ٥٥

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.¹
