54:1  The Hour of Resurrection drew near and the moon split asunder
54:2  (Regardless of any Signs these people see), they turn away and say: "This is an ongoing sorcery."
54:3  They also gave the lie to (the splitting asunder of the moon) and only followed their desires. Yet everything is destined to reach an end
54:4  Surely there came to them narratives (of the ancient nations) that should suffice to deter (them from transgression)
54:5  narratives that are full of consummate wisdom. But warnings do not avail them
54:6  So turn away from them, (O Prophet). On the Day when a caller shall call them to a thing most terrible
54:7  with down-cast eyes they shall go forth from their graves, as though they were scattered locusts
54:8  They shall be hurrying forth towards the caller, and the unbelievers (who had once denied this Day), will say: "This is a woeful Day."
54:9  Before them Noah´s people also gave the lie (to his Message). They rejected Our servant as a liar, saying: "He is a madman"; and he was rebuffed
54:10  Then he called upon His Lord: "Verily I am vanquished; so come You to my aid."
54:11  Thereupon We opened the gates of the sky for water to pour down
54:12  and We made the earth burst forth with springs, and all this water converged to fulfil that which had been decreed
54:13  And We bore Noah on the vessel built of planks and nails
54:14  which sailed on under Our supervision: a reward for him who had been shown ingratitude
54:15  And We left the Ark as a Sign. Is there, then, any who will take heed
54:16  So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings
54:17  We have made this Qur´an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed
54:18  ´Ad also gave the lie (to Hud). So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings
54:19  We sent a tumultuous wind against them on a day of unremitting misfortune
54:20  which tore people away and hurled them as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees
54:21  So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings
54:22  We have made the Qur´an easy to derive lessons from. Is there, then, any who will take heed
54:23  Thamud gave the lie to the warnings
54:24  saying: "Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly
54:25  Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar."
54:26  (We told Our Messenger): "Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar
54:27  We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience
54:28  Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn."
54:29  Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel
54:30  So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings
54:31  Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder
54:32  Surely We have made this Qur´an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed
54:33  Lot´s people also gave the lie to the warnings
54:34  and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot´s household whom We rescued in the last hours of the nigh
54:35  as a favour from Us. Thus do We reward those who give thanks
54:36  Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings
54:37  Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): "Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings."
54:38  Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning
54:39  So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings
54:40  Surely We have made this Qur´an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed
54:41  Warnings also came to the Pharaonites
54:42  but they gave the lie to Our Signs, to all of them. Thereupon We seized them with the seizing of the Most Mighty, the Most Powerful
54:43  Are your unbelievers (of Makkah) any better than they? Or have you been granted any immunity in the Scriptures
54:44  Or do they say: "We are a strong legion, strong enough for victory?"
54:45  Soon shall this legion be routed and shall turn their backs and flee
54:46  Nay; the Hour of Doom is their appointed time, and the Hour shall be more calamitous and bitter
54:47  The evil-doers are victims of error and madness
54:48  There shall come a Day when they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire and will be told: "Now taste the flame of Hell."
54:49  We have created everything in a determined measure
54:50  Our command consists of only one Word which is carried out in the twinkling of an eye
54:51  We did indeed destroy many like you. Is there, then, any who will heed
54:52  All their deeds are recorded in the Scrolls
54:53  everything large or small, is duly inscribed
54:54  Surely those who shun disobedience will dwell amidst Gardens and running stream
54:55  where they will be honourably seated in the presence of a King, Mighty in Power
