Holy Quran » AL QAMAR : 1 - 20

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

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

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].

So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.

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

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

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,

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

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

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

'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,

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