In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[54.1] The
hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
[54.2] And
if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.
[54.3] And
they call (it) a lie, and follow their low desires; and every affair has its appointed
term.
[54.4] And
certainly some narratives have come to them wherein is prevention --
[54.5]
Consummate wisdom -- but warnings do not avail;
[54.6] So
turn (your) back on them (for) the day when the inviter shall invite them to a hard task,
[54.7] Their
eyes cast down, going forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts,
[54.8]
Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.
[54.9]
Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad,
and he was driven away.
[54.10]
Therefore he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, come Thou then to help.
[54.11] So
We opened the gates of the cloud with water pouring down,
[54.12] And
We made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together
according to a measure already ordained.
[54.13] And
We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails,
[54.14]
Sailing, before Our eyes, a reward for him who was denied.
[54.15] And
certainly We left it as a sign, but is there anyone who will mind?
[54.16] How
(great) was then My punishment and My warning!
[54.17] And
certainly We have made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will
mind?
[54.18] Ad
treated (the truth) as a lie, so how (great) was My punishment and My warning!
[54.19]
Surely We sent on them a tornado in a day of bitter ill-luck,
[54.20]
Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm-trees torn up.
[54.21] How
(great) was then My punishment and My warning!
[54.22] And
certainly We have made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will
mind?
[54.23]
Samood rejected the warning.
[54.24] So
they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall
in that case be in sure error and distress:
[54.25] Has
the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!
[54.26]
Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one.
[54.27]
Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and
have patience.
[54.28] And
inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be
regulated.
[54.29] But
they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her).
[54.30] How
(great) was then My punishment and My warning!
[54.31]
Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which
the maker of an enclosure collects.
[54.32] And
certainly We have made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will
mind?
[54.33] The
people of Lut treated the warning as a lie.
[54.34]
Surely We sent upon them a stone-storm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little
before daybreak,
[54.35] A
favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks.
[54.36] And
certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the
warning.
[54.37] And
certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste
My chastisement and My warning.
[54.38] And
certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning.
[54.39] So
taste My chastisement and My warning.
[54.40] And
certainly We have made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will
mind?
[54.41] And
certainly the warning came to Firon's people.
[54.42] They
rejected all Our communications, so We overtook them after the manner of a Mighty,
Powerful One.
[54.43] Are
the unbelievers of yours better than these, or is there an exemption for you in the
scriptures?
[54.44] Or
do they say: We are a host allied together to help each other?
[54.45] Soon
shall the hosts be routed, and they shall turn (their) backs.
[54.46] Nay,
the hour is their promised time, and the hour shall be most grievous and bitter.
[54.47]
Surely the guilty are in error and distress.
[54.48] On
the day when they shall be dragged upon their faces into the fire; taste the touch of
hell.
[54.49]
Surely We have created everything according to a measure.
[54.50] And
Our command is but one, as the twinkling of an eye.
[54.51] And
certainly We have already destroyed the likes of you, but is there anyone who will mind?
[54.52] And
everything they have done is in the writings.
[54.53] And
everything small and great is written down.
[54.54]
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and rivers,
[54.55] In
the seat of honor with a most Powerful King.
