54:4  The reports of ancient people have come to them containing lessons
54:5  with far-reaching wisdom, but those warnings didn’t benefit them.
54:6  Messenger, turn away from them, one Day a caller will call them to something terrible;

54:9  Previously, the people of Nuh denied Our servant, and called him a mad man and severely scolded him.
54:10  He cried out to His Lord: “I am weak and beaten, so help me!”
54:11  So We opened the sky’s floodgates with torrential rain,
54:12  and caused the Earth’s springs to surge, and the two waters met as pre-designed.
54:13  We carried him on a boat made of wooden planks held together with nails,

54:24  They said, “We must be misguided and mad people if we follow one man from among us.
54:25  How could he be given a Revelation? He is a big-headed liar.”
54:26  Tomorrow they shall know who is a big-headed liar.
54:27  We shall send a she-camel to test them, so patiently watch over them.
54:28  And tell them, the water shall be divided equally among them, and each will come to it when it’s their turn.
54:29  So they called for their leader who cut the hamstrings of the she-camel.

54:34  We sent a sandstorm of stones; the only exception was the family of Lut, We saved them at dawn,
54:35  a favour from Us. This is how We reward the thankful.
54:36  He warned them clearly about Our punishment, but they doubted the warnings.
54:37  They also demanded from him his guests, so We blinded them and told them, “Taste My punishment and the warnings.”

54:39  It was said: “Taste My punishment and warnings.”
54:40  We made the Quran easy to learn and understand; so will anyone pay attention
54:41  Warners came to the people of Pharaoh,
54:42  but they denied all Our signs, so We grabbed them with force and power.

54:53  whether big or small – all was written down.
