54:6  wherefore do thou withdraw from them. The day whereon the summoner shall summon mankind to an ungrateful business
54:7  they shall come forth from their graves with down-cast looks: Numerous as locusts scattered far abroad
54:8  hastening with terror unto the summoner. The unbelievers shall say, this is a day of distress

54:23  Thamud charged the admonitions of their prophet with falsehood
54:24  and said, shall we follow a single man among us? Verily we should then be guilty of error, and preposterous madness
54:25  Is the office of admonition committed unto him preferably to the rest of us? Nay; he is a liar, and an insolent fellow
54:26  But God said to Saleh, to morrow shall they know who is the liar, and the insolent person

54:36  And Lot had warned them of our severity in chastising; but they doubted of that warning
54:37  And they demanded his guests of him, that they might abuse them: But We put out their eyes, saying, taste my vengeance, and my threatening
54:38  And early in the morning a lasting punishment surprized them
54:39  Taste, therefore, my vengeance, and my threatening
