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

The day of judgment is drawing near yet the unbelievers ate not paying heed to the signs of Allah

The Hour of Doom is drawing near, the moon has split asunder; which is a clear proof that the same thing can happen to the earth.

Yet when they see a sign, the unbelievers turn their backs and say: "This is an ingenious magic."

They deny this and keep on following their own fancies. Ultimately every matter shall be laid to rest.

There has already come to them the information of former nations containing enough deterrents

and profound wisdom to serve as a warning, but warnings are of no use to these people.

Therefore, O Prophet, let them be. On the Day when the caller will call them to a terrible event.

They shall come out from their graves, like swarming locusts, with downcast eyes,

rushing towards the caller and the same unbelievers will cry: "This is indeed an awful Day!"

We have made the Quran easy to understand the admonition, so is there any who would take the admonition?

Long before them, the people of Nuh (Noah) disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, called him a madman and drove him out.

After admonishing the people for 950 years, finally he cried out: "Help me, O Rabb, I have been overcomed!"

So We opened the gates of heaven with pouring rain

and caused the earth to burst with gushing springs, and the waters met to fulfill the decreed end.

We carried him in an Ark built with planks and nails,

which drifted on under Our care: a reward for him (Noah) who was denied by the unbelievers.

We have left that Ark as a sign, so is there any who would take admonition?

How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning!

We have indeed made the Qur'an very easy to understand the admonition: but is there any who would take admonition?

Likewise the people of 'Ad did not believe then how terrible was My scourge and how clear My Warning!

We let loose on them a tornado, on the day of their bitter misfortune,

which snatched them off like trunks of uprooted palm-trees.

How terrible was My scourge and how clear My warning!
