The Hour (of doom) has drawn near, and the moon has split asunder.

When these people see a sign, they turn away and say, “(This is) a transient magic.”

They have rejected (the Truth) and followed their desires, while every matter has to settle (at some time).

And there has come to them as much news (of the earlier communities) as it is enough to deter,

(containing) a perfect wisdom. But the warnings are of no avail (to them).

Therefore, turn aside (O Prophet,) from them. (They will see the reality) on the day in which the caller will call (them) to a gruesome object.

With their eyes humbled, they will come out of the graves like locusts spread all over,

rushing quickly towards the caller. (On that Day) the disbelievers will say, “This is a hard day.”

The people of NūH denied (the truth) before them. So they rejected Our servant, and said, “(He is) a madman”, and he was (also) threatened (by them).

So he prayed to his Lord saying, “I am overpowered, so defend (me).”

So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring forth profusely,

and We caused the earth to gush forth as springs; so the water (of both kinds) met together for a destined event.
