القمر

Ayahs 41–55 · Makki · 55 Ayahs · Surah 54

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ 41

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning

كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُمۡ أَخۡذَ عَزِيزٖ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ 42

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability

أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٞ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ 43

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِيعٞ مُّنتَصِرٞ 44

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]

سَيُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ 45

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat]

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ 46

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٖ 47

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness

يَوۡمَ يُسۡحَبُونَ فِي ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُواْ مَسَّ سَقَرَ 48

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٖ 49

Indeed, all things We created with predestination

وَمَآ أَمۡرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٞ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ 50

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ 51

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember

وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٖ فَعَلُوهُ فِي ٱلزُّبُرِ 52

And everything they did is in written records

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٖ وَكَبِيرٖ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ 53

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَنَهَرٖ 54

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers

فِي مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٖ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ 55

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability
