54:1  The Hour (of Judgment) has drawn nearer, and the moon has been torn apart (cleft asunder.

54:2  And if they see a Sign they turn away, and say: "This is persistent magic."

54:3  They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) desires and every matter has its appointed time

54:4  And indeed there have already come to them, recitations in which there is (enough) warnin

54:5  Perfect wisdom (in this Quran)— But (the preaching of) warners does not profit them

54:6  Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day when the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair

54:7  They will come forth— Their eyes humbled—. From (their) graves, (dazed) like locusts scattered aboard

54:8  Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller! The unbelievers will say: "Hard is this Day!"

54:9  Before them, the people of Nuh (Noah) rejected (their prophet): 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 the one overcome: Then You 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 spring so, the waters met (and rose) to the decreed level

54:13  And We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks held together with palm-fiber

54:14  She (the Ark) floated under Our eyes (and care): A reward to the one who had been rejected (with contempt by his own people)

54:15  And indeed, We have left this as a Sign (for all time): Then is there any who will receive the teachings

54:16  Then! How (terrible) was my Penalty and My Warning

54:17  And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings

54:18  The ‘Ad (people also) rejected (the Truth): Then! How terrible was my Penalty and My Warning

54:19  Verily, 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  Then! How (terrible) was my Penalty and My Warning

54:22  And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings

54:23  The (people of) Samood (Thamud), also rejected (their) Warners

54:24  And they said: "A man! A solitary one from among ourselves! Shall we follow him? Truly, should we then be straying in mind, and mad

54:25  "Is it that the Message sent to him of all people amongst us? No! He is a liar, a disrespectful one!"

54:26  They will know the next day, who is the liar, the disrespectful one

54:27  Verily, We will send the she-camel by the way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih) and keep yourself in patience

54:28  And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each ones right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns)

54:29  But they called to their companion (in evil) and he took a sword in hand, and killed (the she-camel cutting her hamstrings)

54:30  Then! How (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning

54:31  Verily, We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one that keeps the cattle

54:32  And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings

54:33  The People of Lut (Lot) rejected (his) warning

54:34  Verily, We sent against them a violent tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: (And) We delivered them by early part of the morning—

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, so, We blinded their eyes. (And they heard:) "Now you taste My Wrath and My Warning."

54:38  And Verily, early on the next day an abiding punishment seized them

54:39  "So you taste My Wrath and My Warning."

54:40  And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember: Then is there any who will receive the teachings

54:41  Also to the People of Firon (Pharaoh), before have, came Warners (from Allah)

54:42  They (the people) rejected all Our Signs; So, We seized them with such penalty (that comes) from Almighty (Aziz, Exalted in Power), Able and Powerful (Muqtadir) to enforce His Will

54:43  Are your unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they were or have you 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  No! But the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most painful 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, (it will be said:) "You taste the touch of Hell!"

54:49  Surely, all things We have created in proportion and measure

54:50  And Our Command is but a single (Act)— Like the twinkle of an eye

54:51  And indeed (often) in the past, We have destroyed groups like you: Then is there any who will receive the teachings

54:52  And all that they do is noted in (their) books (of deeds)

54:53  And every matter, small and large, is on record

54:54  Verily, as to those who act right, they will be in the in the midst of gardens and streams

54:55  In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Almighty (Muqtadir, Omnipotent Allah)
