54:5  profound in wisdom, but all warnings have been of no avail
54:6  so ignore them. On the Day when the Crier will call out about a horrible event
54:7  with downcast eyes they shall come out of their graves, as if they were locusts milling abou

54:20  It swept people away as if they were trunks of uprooted palm trees
54:21  How [dreadful] was My punishment and My warning
54:22  We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran: is there anyone who would receive admonition
54:23  The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings
54:24  they said, Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness
54:25  Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar
54:26  [We said to him] Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar
54:27  for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient
54:28  And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn
54:29  But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her
54:30  How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings

54:34  We sent a sandstorm against them which destroyed them all, except the family of Lot, whom We saved at the break of dawn

54:36  Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warning
54:37  they even wanted to seduce his guestsbut We blinded them, and said, Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings
54:38  and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook the
54:39  Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings
54:40  We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition
54:41  Surely warners came to the people of Pharaoh
54:42  They, too, rejected all Our signs. So We seized them with the seizure of One Mighty, Omnipotent
54:43  Are your people who deny the truth better than those? Or have you been given immunity in the Scriptures
54:44  Or do they say, We are a united group, and we are bound to prevail
54:45  The hosts shall soon be routed and they shall be put to flight
54:46  Indeed, the Hour of Doom is their appointed time, and the Last Hour will be the most severe, and the most bitter
54:47  The evildoers are indeed sunk in error and foll
