بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ١
Iqtarabati assaAAatu wanshaqqaalqamar. The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ ٢
Wa-in yaraw ayatan yuAAridoowayaqooloo sihrun mustamirr. And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

Wakaththaboo wattabaAAoo ahwaahumwakullu amrin mustaqirr. And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.

Walaqad jaahum mina al-anba-i mafeehi muzdajar. And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -
حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ٥
Hikmatun balighatun famatughnee annuthur. Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ ٦
Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu addaAAiila shay-in nukur. So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,
خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٞ مُّنتَشِرٞ ٧
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoonamina al-ajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashir. Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

MuhtiAAeena ila addaAAiyaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasir. Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohinfakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun wazdujir. The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.

FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun fantasir. So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidannattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalinwasuAAur. And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.

Aolqiya aththikru AAalayhimin baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashir. Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."

SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabual-ashir. They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
