وَ لَقَدْ And certainly جَآءَ came اٰلَ (to the) people فِرْعَوْنَ (of) Firaun النُّذُرُۚ warnings كَذَّبُوْا They denied بِاٰیٰتِنَا Our Signs كُلِّهَا all of them فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ so We seized them اَخْذَ (with) a seizure عَزِیْزٍ (of) All-Mighty مُّقْتَدِرٍ (the) Powerful One اَكُفَّارُكُمْ Are your disbelievers خَیْرٌ better مِّنْ than اُولٰٓىِٕكُمْ those اَمْ or لَكُمْ for you بَرَآءَةٌ (is) an exemption فِی in الزُّبُرِۚ the Scriptures اَمْ Or یَقُوْلُوْنَ (do) they say نَحْنُ We جَمِیْعٌ (are) an assembly مُّنْتَصِرٌ helping (each other) سَیُهْزَمُ Soon will be defeated الْجَمْعُ (their) assembly وَ یُوَلُّوْنَ and they will turn الدُّبُرَ (their) backs بَلِ Nay السَّاعَةُ the Hour مَوْعِدُهُمْ (is) their promised time وَ السَّاعَةُ and the Hour اَدْهٰی (will be) more grievous وَ اَمَرُّ and more bitter اِنَّ Indeed الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ the criminals فِیْ (are) in ضَلٰلٍ an error وَّ سُعُرٍۘ and madness یَوْمَ (The) Day یُسْحَبُوْنَ they will be dragged فِی into النَّارِ the Fire عَلٰی on وُجُوْهِهِمْ ؕ their faces ذُوْقُوْا Taste مَسَّ (the) touch سَقَرَ (of) Hell اِنَّا Indeed [We] كُلَّ every شَیْءٍ thing خَلَقْنٰهُ We created it بِقَدَرٍ by a measure 54. Al-Qamar Page 531 وَ مَاۤ And not اَمْرُنَاۤ (is) Our Command اِلَّا but وَاحِدَةٌ one كَلَمْحٍۭ like the twinkling بِالْبَصَرِ (of) the eye وَلَقَدْ And certainly اَهْلَكْنَاۤ We destroyed اَشْیَاعَكُمْ your kinds فَهَلْ so is (there) مِنْ any مُّدَّكِرٍ who will receive admonition وَ كُلُّ And every شَیْءٍ thing فَعَلُوْهُ they did فِی (is) in الزُّبُرِ the written records وَ كُلُّ And every صَغِیْرٍ small وَّ كَبِیْرٍ and big مُّسْتَطَرٌ (is) written down اِنَّ Indeed الْمُتَّقِیْنَ the righteous فِیْ (will be) in جَنّٰتٍ gardens وَّ نَهَرٍۙ and river فِیْ In مَقْعَدِ a seat صِدْقٍ (of) honor عِنْدَ near مَلِیْكٍ a King مُّقْتَدِرٍ۠ Most Powerful
41. Is there then anyone who will take admonition. And the warnings had come to the people of Firaun also.
42. But they falsified all Our signs. So WE seized them which was a seizure of the Overlords and the Mighty.41
43. And the deniers of your community better then the deniers of those communities? 42 Or is there an immunity for you in the Divine scriptures?43
44. Or do they say that all of us together will fight him?
45. Their multitude will soon be defeated and they will flee turning their backs.44
46. However the real promise with them is that of the Resurrection.45 And the Hour of Resurrection will be very hard and bitter.46
47. The guilty are in deviation and in a fault of mind.47
48. The day they will be dragged in Fire upon their faces. Taste the touch of Hell.48
49. WE have created everything by measure (planning).49
50. And OUR command will be effective at once like the twinkling of the eyelid.50
51. WE have destroyed your likes (of the same disposition).51 So is there anyone who will take admonition’?
52. All that they have done is preserved in record.
53. And everything, small and great, has been written down.52
54. Verily the God-fearing will be in the Gardens and Springs. 53
55. In the place of Truth 54 near a Mighty Sovereign.55
41. That is: it was such a strong grip that the companions of the Firaun became helpless before the Divine wrath.
42. The addressees are Arabs who are being told that, the deniers among you too are acting exactly like the disbelievers of the past. In what way, then, they are better than them so that they may not meet with the same end which those of the past met? A disbeliever is one who rebels against Allah and hence he is a great criminal. Therefore a disbeliever community is essentially worthy of Divine torment.
43. Is it written anywhere in Divine scripture that whatever be your deeds you will never be punished? If it is not so and if you have not been awarded a license for salvation, then how dare you turn against Divine Guidance?!
44. Quran had mentioned this thing in Makkah. At that time there was no apparent sign of the defeat of the Quraish. But this foretelling of the Quran came true within a few years. It is mentioned in hadith that during the war of Badr (2 H.E.) the holy prophet had put on an armour and he came out reciting this ayah:
“Their multitude will soon be defeated and they will flee turning their backs.”
And soon thereafter the disbelievers lost courage and they were defeated badly. Similarly they fled in the War of Khandaq (Trench).
45. They are sure to get the beating in this world in their fight with the Prophet of Allah. Moreover, the real punishment which they will taste will be on the Day of Resurrection. That will be a very severe and everlasting torment.
46. There are lots of hardships and calamities in Resurrection. Therefore be warned and make arrangement to save yourselves from that calamity.
47. This is a reply to the disbelievers’ saying quoted in ayah:24.
48. The word used in the text is’ Saqar’ which is a name of Hell. It means extremely hot.
49. Allah Almighty has created everything according to a plan. There is a comprehensive universal plan for what He intends to do, when to do and for what purpose to do. Therefore the revolution will come on its time which is called Qiyamah. It cannot occur earlier on someone’s demand.
50. The occurrence of Qiyamah will not take any time when Allah will wish to do so. The moment HE wills it will occur within a blink of the eye. The twinkling of an eyelid does not take any time. Likewise Resurrection will occur the moment Allah desires.
51. Those following your line have been destroyed. That is: the disbelieving and rebellious nations.
52. For explanation please see Surah Kahaf, Note:70.
53. Here the God-fearing are mentioned compared to the criminals. It means that this is the reward of those people who feared their accounting for their deeds before Allah, who accepted the Guidance and who refrained from sins. They will dwell in the gardens of the paradise, the gardens which will be full of ever flowing springs.
54. That is: in such high places where they will get real reward and will gain true honour and esteem.
55. They will attain the nearness to Allah Who is the True Sovereign and Whose power and Might dominates everything.
