الْقَمَر

To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from Allah).

The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will.

Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books?

Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?

Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs.

Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter.

Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.

The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!"

Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure.

And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye.

And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition?

All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds):

Every matter, small and great, is on record.

As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers,

In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent.
