Al-Qamar

1 : 54

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

1. The Hour (of Doom) is drawing near, and the moon split apart (into two) ^[1].

[1]. This was a sign given as a miracle to the Prophet Muhammad when the pagans challenged him to show them a miracle.

2 : 54

وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ

2. Yet, if they see a miracle ^[2] they turn away, and say: "Ongoing sorcery."

[2]. The prophets were given signs or miracles as a proof that they were commissioned by Allāh. Moses was given the miracles of staff and a bright hand among others. Jesus would give life to the dead and heal the blind and the leper and other miracles. Muhammad (ﷺ) was given the Qur’an, a literary miracle, challenging the masters of Arabic eloquence. Also his Night Journey and Ascent to Heavens, splitting the moon, increase of small amounts of food at the hands of the Prophet Muhammad, so that the army who were with him could eat, and there would still be food left over, the springing forth of water from between the fingers of the Prophet Muhammad and the increase of water so that the entire army could drink from it and do ritual ablution with it. Qatadah’s eye was struck by an arrow during the Battle of Uhud due to which his eye came out of its socket. Prophet Muhammad placed the eye back in the socket with his hand and it was set in its place again and he regained his sight and it became the best of his two eyes.
The Prophet’s foretelling of matters of the future unseen, the grieving of the date palm trunk when he stopped preaching beside it and began to use the minbar, the rock greeting him with salaam when he was in Makkah, healing the sick, and giving peace and life to manifold people in the world by making them live for purpose serving God wholeheartedly.

3 : 54

وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ

3. And they denied (the Truth) and followed their low desires; but for every matter is a (time of) settlement.

4 : 54

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ

4. And there have already come to them of the tidings (of the destroyed nations) that in which there is (enough) deterrence.

5 : 54

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ

5. A perfect Wisdom (in this Quran) - but the warnings does not avail 'them';

6 : 54

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ

6. So, turn away from them. (And wait for) the Day when the caller ^[3] will call to a terrible thing.

[3]. Isrāfīl, the angel assigned to blow the Trumpet and call all for Resurrection and judgement.
