SURAH
AL-QAMAR
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. The Hour came near and the moon was split.
2. And if they see any sign, they turn their faces and say
this is magic perpetual.

affair has already been resolved.

wherein there was enough to check.
5. Perfect wisdom, but warners profit them not.
6. So, turn you away from them. The day when the caller
will call towards a harsh unrecognized thing.

as they are locusts scattered.
8. Hastening towards the Caller. The infidels will say,
'this day is hard'.
9. The people of Nuh belied before them, they declared Our
bondman to be liar and said, 'he is a madman and scolded him'.

do then take revenge for me.

water.
12. And We made the earth flow with springs, so the two
waters met to such a quantity, which was already decreed.
13. And We bore Nuh on a thing of planks and nails.
14. Floating before Our eyes, a recompense for him who was
rejected.

would pay attention?

self-boaster?
27. We are to send the she Camel for their trial, therefore

share.

grateful.

doubted in the Commandments of warning.

a lasting torment.
