Qur’an — Page 528 of 604

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ٤٥

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ ٤٦

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ ٤٧

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the other [i.e., next] creation.

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ ٤٨

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ ٤٩

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius¹

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ٥٠

And that He destroyed the first [people of] ʿAad

وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ ٥١

And Thamūd - and He did not spare [them] -

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ ٥٢

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing.

وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ ٥٣

And the overturned towns¹ He hurled down

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ ٥٤

And covered them by that which He covered.¹

فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ ٥٥

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?

هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ ٥٦

This [Prophet (ﷺ)] is a warner from [i.e., like] the former warners.

أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ ٥٧

The Approaching Day has approached.

لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ ٥٨

Of it, [from those] besides Allāh, there is no remover.

أَفَمِنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ ٥٩

Then at this statement do you wonder?

وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ ٦٠

And you laugh and do not weep

وَأَنتُمۡ سَٰمِدُونَ ٦١

While you are proudly sporting?¹

فَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ۩ ٦٢

So prostrate to Allāh and worship [Him].

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ١

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].¹

وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ ٢

And if they see a sign [i.e., miracle], they turn away and say, "Passing magic."¹

وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ ٣

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

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ ٤

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

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ٥

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

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ ٦

So leave them, [O Muḥammad]. The Day the Caller¹ calls to something forbidding,
