54:1  The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder
54:2  But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
54:3  They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time
54:4  There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them)
54:5  Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not
54:6  Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair
54:7  They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad
54:8  Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say
54:9  Before them the People of Noah rejected (their apostle): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out
54:10  Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
54:11  So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth
54:12  And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed
54:13  But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm- fibre
54:14  She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)
54:15  And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition
54:16  But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning
54:17  And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition
54:18  The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning
54:19  For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster
54:20  Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground)
54:21  Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning
54:22  But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition
54:23  The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners
54:24  For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad
54:25  "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
54:26  Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one
54:27  For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience
54:28  And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns)
54:29  But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her)
54:30  Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning
54:31  For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle
54:32  And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition
54:33  The people of Lut rejected (his) warning
54:34  We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,
54:35  As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks
54:36  And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning
54:37  And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."
54:38  Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them
54:39  "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."
54:40  And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition
54:41  To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from God)
54:42  The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will
54:43  Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books
54:44  Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"
54:45  Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs
54:46  Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter
54:47  Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad
54:48  The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!"
54:49  Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure
54:50  And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye
54:51  And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition
54:52  All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds)
54:53  Every matter, small and great, is on record
54:54  As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers
54:55  In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent
