   Read the passage · Al-Qamar

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ١

   The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

   وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌۭ مُّسْتَمِرٌّۭ٢

   And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."

   وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍۢ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ٣

   And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.

   وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ٤

   And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -

   حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ٥

   Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].

   فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ نُّكُرٍ٦

   So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,

   خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌۭ مُّنتَشِرٌۭ٧

   Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,

   مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌۭ٨

   Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."

   ۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌۭ وَٱزْدُجِرَ٩

   The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.

   فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌۭ فَٱنتَصِرْ١٠

   So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."

   فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍۢ مُّنْهَمِرٍۢ١١

   Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down

   وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًۭا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍۢ قَدْ قُدِرَ١٢

   And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.

   وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍۢ وَدُسُرٍۢ١٣

   And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,

   تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءًۭ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ١٤

   Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.

   وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةًۭ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ١٥

   And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?

   فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ١٦

   And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

   وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ١٧

   And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

   كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌۭ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ١٨

   'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

   إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًۭا صَرْصَرًۭا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍۢ مُّسْتَمِرٍّۢ١٩

   Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,

   تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍۢ مُّنقَعِرٍۢ٢٠

   Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.

   فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ٢١

   And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

   وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ٢٢

   And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

   كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ٢٣

   Thamud denied the warning

   فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًۭا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًۭا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًۭا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ وَسُعُرٍ٢٤

   And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.

   أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌۭ٢٥

   Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."

   سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًۭا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ٢٦

   They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.

   إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةًۭ لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ٢٧

   Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.

   وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍۢ مُّحْتَضَرٌۭ٢٨

   And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].

   فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ٢٩

   But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

   فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ٣٠

   And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

   إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ٣١

   Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

   وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ٣٢

   And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

   كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ٣٣

   The people of Lot denied the warning.

   إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍۢ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٍۢ٣٤

   Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

   نِّعْمَةًۭ مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ٣٥

   As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.

   وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ٣٦

   And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.

   وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ٣٧

   And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."

   وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌۭ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ٣٨

   And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.

   فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ٣٩

   So taste My punishment and warning.

   وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ٤٠

   And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

   Read the passage · Al-Lail

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ١

   By the night when it covers

   وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ٢

   And [by] the day when it appears

   وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ٣

   And [by] He who created the male and female,

   إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ٤

   Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

   فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ٥

   As for he who gives and fears Allah

   وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٦

   And believes in the best [reward],

   فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٧

   We will ease him toward ease.

   وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٨

   But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

   وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٩

   And denies the best [reward],

   فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ١٠

   We will ease him toward difficulty.

   وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ١١

   And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

   إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ١٢

   Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

   وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ١٣

   And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

   فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ١٤

   So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

   لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى١٥

   None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

   ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ١٦

   Who had denied and turned away.

   وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى١٧

   But the righteous one will avoid it -

   ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ١٨

   [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

   وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ١٩

   And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

   إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٠

   But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

   وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ٢١

   And he is going to be satisfied.

   أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ١

   Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

   حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ٢

   Until you visit the graveyards.

   كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ٣

   No! You are going to know.

   ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ٤

   لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ٦

   You will surely see the Hellfire.

   Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.

   Read the passage · An-Naba

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ١

   About what are they asking one another?

   عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٢

   About the great news -

   ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ٣

   That over which they are in disagreement.

   كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٤

   No! They are going to know.

   ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٥

   Then, no! They are going to know.

   أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا٦

   Have We not made the earth a resting place?

   وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا٧

   And the mountains as stakes?

   وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا٨

   And We created you in pairs

   وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا٩

   And made your sleep [a means for] rest

   وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا١٠

   And made the night as clothing

   وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا١١

   And made the day for livelihood

   وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا١٢

   And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

   وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا١٣

   And made [therein] a burning lamp

   وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا١٤

   And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

   لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا١٥

   That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

   وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا١٦

   And gardens of entwined growth.

   إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا١٧

   Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

   يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا١٨

   The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

   وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا١٩

   And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

   وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا٢٠

   And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

   إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا٢١

   Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

   لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا٢٢

   For the transgressors, a place of return,

   لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا٢٣

   In which they will remain for ages [unending].

   لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا٢٤

   They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

   إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا٢٥

   Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

   جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا٢٦

   An appropriate recompense.

   إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا٢٧

   Indeed, they were not expecting an account

   وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا٢٨

   And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

   وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا٢٩

   But all things We have enumerated in writing.

   فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا٣٠

   "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

   إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا٣١

   Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

   حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا٣٢

   Gardens and grapevines

   وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا٣٣

   And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

   وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا٣٤

   And a full cup.

   لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا٣٥

   No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

   جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا٣٦

   [As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

   رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا٣٧

   [From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

   يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا٣٨

   The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

   ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا٣٩

   That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

   إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا٤٠

   Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
