Section 1 · Verses 1–22

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split in two And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a time of settlement And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail them So leave them, O Muhammad. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled Thus he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined And We carried him on a construction of planks and nails Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember And how severe were My punishment and warning And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember Aad denied; and how severe were My punishment and warning Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted And how severe were My punishment and warning And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember

Section 2 · Verses 23–40

Thus do We reward he who is grateful And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, saying, "Taste My punishment and warning And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment Thus taste My punishment and warning And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember
