54:1  Wonder you then at this announcement
54:2  And do you laugh and not weep
54:3  While you sport
54:4  So bow down in prostration before Allah and serve (Him)
54:5  The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent asunder
54:6  And if they see a sign, they turn away and say: Strong enchantment
54:7  And they deny and follow their low desires; and every affair is settled
54:8  And certainly narratives have come to them, which should deter -
54:9  Consummate wisdom -- but warnings avail not
54:10  So turn away from them. On the day when the Inviter invites them to a hard task -
54:11  Their eyes cast down, they will go forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts
54:12  Hastening to the Inviter. The disbelievers will say: This is a hard day
54:13  Before them the people of Noah rejected -- they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away
54:14  So he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, so do Thou help
54:15  Then We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring down
54:16  And made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained
54:17  And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails
54:18  Floating on, before Our eyes -- a reward for him who was denied
54:19  And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there any that will mind
54:20  How terrible was then My chastisement and My warning
54:21  And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind
54:22  ‘Ad denied, so how terrible was My chastisement and My warning
54:23  Surely We sent on them a furious wind in a day of bitter ill-luck
54:24  Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm-trees torn up
54:25  How terrible was then My chastisement and My warning
54:26  And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind
54:27  Thamud rejected the warning
54:28  To-morrow they will know who is the liar, the insolent one
54:29  Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch them and have patience
54:30  And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be attended
54:31  But they called their companion, so he took (a sword) and hamstrung (her)
54:32  How (terrible) was then My chastisement and My warning
54:33  Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees, which the maker of an enclosure collects
54:34  And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind
54:35  The people of Lot treated the warning as a lie
54:36  Surely We sent upon them a stone-storm, except Lot’s followers; We saved them a little before daybreak -
54:37  A favour from Us. Thus do We reward him who gives thanks
54:38  And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they disputed the warning
54:39  And certainly they endeavoured to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning
54:40  And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning
54:41  So taste My chastisement and My warning
54:42  And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind
54:43  And certainly the warning came to Pharaoh’s people
54:44  They rejected all Our signs, so We overtook them with the seizing of the Mighty, the Powerful
54:45  Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny
54:46  Are your disbelievers better than these, or have you an immunity in the scriptures
54:47  Nay, the Hour is their promised time, and the Hour is most grievous and bitter
54:48  Surely the guilty are in error and distress
54:49  On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces: Taste the touch of hell
54:50  Surely We have created everything according to a measure
54:51  And Our command is but once, as the twinkling of an eye
54:52  And certainly We destroyed your fellows, but is there any one who will mind
54:53  And everything they do is in the writings
54:54  And everything small and great is written down
54:55  Surely the dutiful will be among Gardens and rivers
