54:1  The Hour draws near; the moon is split in two
54:2  Whenever the disbelievers see a sign, they turn away and say, ‘Same old sorcery!’
54:3  They reject the truth and follow their own desires––everything is recorded––
54:4  although warning tales that should have restrained them have come down to them––
54:5  farreaching wisdom––but these warnings do not help
54:6  so [Prophet] turn away from them. On the Day the Summoner will summon them to a horrific event
54:7  eyes downcast, they will come out of their graves like swarming locust
54:8  rushing towards the Summoner. The disbelievers will cry, ‘This is a stern day!’
54:9  The people of Noah rejected the truth before them: they rejected Our servant, saying, ‘He is mad!’ Noah was rebuked
54:10  and so he called upon his Lord, ‘I am defeated: help me!’
54:11  So We opened the gates of the sky with torrential water
54:12  burst the earth with gushing springs: the waters met for a preordained purpose
54:13  We carried him along on a vessel of planks and nail
54:14  that floated under Our watchful eye, a reward for the one who had been rejected
54:15  We have left this as a sign: will anyone take heed
54:16  How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
54:17  We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed
54:18  The people of 'Ad also rejected the truth. How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
54:19  We released a howling wind against them on a day of terrible disaster
54:20  it swept people away like uprooted palm trunks
54:21  How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
54:22  We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed
54:23  The people of Thamud also rejected the warnings
54:24  they said, ‘What? A man? Why should we follow a lone man from amongst ourselves? That would be misguided; quite insane
54:25  Would a mes-sage be given to him alone out of all of us? No, he is an insolent liar!’
54:26  ‘Tomorrow they will know who is the insolent liar
54:27  for We shall send them a she-camel to test them: so watch them [Salih] and be patient
54:28  Tell them the water is to be shared between them: each one should drink in turn.’
54:29  But they called their companion, who took a sword and hamstrung the camel
54:30  How [terrible] was My punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings
54:31  We released a single mighty blast against them and they ended up like a fencemaker’s dry sticks
54:32  We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed
54:33  The people of Lot rejected the warnings
54:34  We released a stonebearing wind against them, all except the family of Lot. We saved them before daw
54:35  as a favour from Us: this is how We reward the thankful
54:36  He warned them of Our onslaught, but they dismissed the warning
54:37  they even demanded his guests from him- so We sealed their eyes- ‘ Taste My [terrible] punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings!’
54:38  and early in the morning a punishment seized them that still remains
54:39  ‘Taste My [terrible] punishment and [the fulfilment of] My warnings!’
54:40  We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: will anyone take heed
54:41  The people of Pharaoh also received warnings
54:42  They rejected all Our signs so We seized them with all Our might and power
54:43  ‘Are your disbelievers any better than these? Were you given an exemption in the Scripture?’
54:44  Do they perhaps say, ‘We are a great army and we shall be victorious’
54:45  Their forces will be routed and they will turn tail and flee
54:46  But the Hour is their appointed time- the Hour is more severe and bitter
54:47  truly the wicked are misguided and quite insane––
54:48  on the Day when they are dragged on their faces in Hell. ‘Feel the touch of Hell.’
54:49  We have created all things in due measure
54:50  when We ordain something it happens at once, in the blink of an eye
54:51  We have destroyed the likes of you in the past. Will anyone take heed
54:52  Everything they do is noted in their records
54:53  every action, great or small, is recorded
54:54  The righteous will live securely among Gardens and rivers
54:55  secure in the presence of an all-powerful Sovereign
