Verse 2 of Surah Al-Qamar (54:2), a Meccan surah, is in juz 27, on page 528 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
When the idolaters see any sign or proof of the truthfulness of the Prophet (peace be upon him) they turn away from accepting it and say: The evidence and proof we have seen are false sorcery.
Whenever they see a sign2, they turn away and say, “Same old magic!”
[2] The prophets were given signs or miracles as a proof that they were commissioned by Allah. Moses (عليه السلام) was given the miracles of staff and a bright hand. Jesus (عليه السلام) would give life to the dead and heal the blind and the leper. Muhammad (ﷺ) was given the Qur’an, a literary miracle, challenging the masters of Arabic eloquence. Nonetheless, he (ﷺ) performed other miracles such as splitting the moon, increasing food and water, and healing some ailments.
And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic."
And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.
And in case they see a sign, they veer away and say, "A continuous sorcery!"
انْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِرْقَتَيْنِ، فِرْقَةً فَوْقَ الْجَبَلِ وَفِرْقَةً دُونَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اشْهَدُوا "
اشْهَدُوا، اشْهَدُوا "
انْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ فِي زَمَانِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
سَأَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ أَنْ يُرِيَهُمْ آيَةً فَأَرَاهُمُ انْشِقَاقَ الْقَمَرِ.
انْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ فِرْقَتَيْنِ.
