Translation 1260
The Hour draws near; the moon is split in two
Translation 1260
Whenever the disbelievers see a sign, they turn away and say, ‘Same old sorcery!’
Translation 1260
They reject the truth and follow their own desires––everything is recorded––
Translation 1260
although warning tales that should have restrained them have come down to them––
Translation 1260
farreaching wisdom––but these warnings do not help
Translation 1260
so [Prophet] turn away from them. On the Day the Summoner will summon them to a horrific event
Translation 1260
eyes downcast, they will come out of their graves like swarming locusts
Translation 1260
rushing towards the Summoner. The disbelievers will cry, ‘This is a stern day!’
Translation 1260
The people of Noah rejected the truth before them: they rejected Our servant, saying, ‘He is mad!’ Noah was rebuked
Translation 1260
and so he called upon his Lord, ‘I am defeated: help me!’
Translation 1260
So We opened the gates of the sky with torrential water
Translation 1260
burst the earth with gushing springs: the waters met for a preordained purpose
Translation 1260
We carried him along on a vessel of planks and nails
Translation 1260
that floated under Our watchful eye, a reward for the one who had been rejected
Translation 1260
We have left this as a sign: will anyone take heed
Translation 1260
How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
Translation 1260
We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed
Translation 1260
The people of 'Ad also rejected the truth. How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
Translation 1260
We released a howling wind against them on a day of terrible disaster
Translation 1260
it swept people away like uprooted palm trunks
Translation 1260
How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
Translation 1260
We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed
Translation 1260
The people of Thamud also rejected the warnings
Translation 1260
they said, ‘What? A man? Why should we follow a lone man from amongst ourselves? That would be misguided; quite insane
Translation 1260
Would a mes-sage be given to him alone out of all of us? No, he is an insolent liar!’
Translation 1260
