In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1. The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split.

2. Yet whenever they see a miracle, they turn away, and say, “Continuous magic.”

3. They lied, and followed their opinions, but everything has its time.

4. And there came to them news containing a deterrent.

5. Profound wisdom—but warnings are of no avail.

6. So turn away from them. On the Day when the Caller calls to something terrible.

7. Their eyes humiliated, they will emerge from the graves, as if they were swarming locusts.

8. Scrambling towards the Caller, the disbelievers will say, “This is a difficult Day.”

9. Before them the people of Noah disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, and said, “Crazy,” and he was rebuked.

10. So he appealed to his Lord, “I am overwhelmed, so help me.”

11. So We opened the floodgates of heaven with water pouring down.

12. And We made the earth burst with springs, and the waters met for a purpose already destined.

13. And We carried him on a craft of planks and nails.

14. Sailing before Our eyes; a reward for him who was rejected.

15. And We left it as a sign. Is there anyone who would take heed?

16. So how were My punishment and My warnings?

17. We made the Quran easy to learn. Is there anyone who would learn?

18. Aad denied the truth. So how were My punishment and My warnings?

19. We unleashed upon them a screaming wind, on a day of unrelenting misery.

20. Plucking the people away, as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees.

21. So how were My punishment and My warnings?

22. We made the Quran easy to remember. Is there anyone who would remember?
