[54.1] The Hour is drawing near, and the moon is split (in two).

[54.2] Yet if they see a sign (the unbelievers) turn their backs and say: 'This is but a continuation of sorcery!'

[54.3] They have belied, and follow their own fancies. But, every issue will be settled!

[54.4] Tidings containing a deterrent have come to them

[54.5] which are full of wisdom; but the warnings do not help.

[54.6] Therefore, turn away from them. On the Day when the Caller summons them to a terrible thing,

[54.7] their eyes will be humbled as they come out from their graves as if they were scattered locusts,

[54.8] running (with their necks extended) to the Caller. The unbelievers will say: 'This is indeed a harsh Day!'

[54.9] (Long) before them the nation of Noah belied. They belied Our worshiper saying: 'Mad!' and he was reprimanded.

[54.10] Then he supplicated to his Lord, (saying): 'I am overcome, help me!'

[54.11] We opened the Gates of Heaven with torrential water

[54.12] and caused the earth to gush with springs, so that the waters met for a predestined matter.

[54.13] We carried him in a well built, watertight vessel made from planks (of wood)

[54.14] that ran on under Our Eyes, a recompense for him because he had been disbelieved.

[54.15] We have left it as a sign. Is there any that will remember?

[54.16] How then were My punishment and My warnings!

[54.17] We have made the Koran easy to remember, is there any that will remember!

[54.18] Aad too belied. How then were My punishment and My warnings!

[54.19] And We sent against them a howling wind in a Day of continuous of ill fortune

[54.20] and snatched people up as though they were stumps of uprooted palm-trees.

[54.21] How then were My punishment and My warnings!

[54.22] We have made the Koran easy to remember, is there any that will remember?

[54.23] Thamood, too, belied Our warnings.

[54.24] They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane.

[54.25] Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar.'

[54.26] (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar.

[54.27] We are sending to them as a trial, a she-camel, so watch them and have patience.

[54.28] Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn.'

[54.29] But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her.

[54.30] How then were My punishment and My warnings!

[54.31] Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) pen-builder.

[54.32] We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember!

[54.33] The nation of Lot belied Our warnings.

[54.34] We let loose on all of them a squall of clay-stones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn

[54.35] through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful.

[54.36] He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings.

[54.37] They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings!'

[54.38] And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them.

[54.39] 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings!'

[54.40] We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember!

[54.41] The warnings also came to Pharaoh's people,

[54.42] but they belied all Our signs so We seized them with the seizing of the Mighty, Powerful.

[54.43] What then, are your unbelievers better than those? Or do you have an immunity (written) in the Scrolls?

[54.44] Or do they say: 'We are a gathering that will be victorious?'

[54.45] Most certainly their gatherings shall be routed, and they will turn their backs.

[54.46] Rather, the Hour is their encounter. And that Hour will be most calamitous and bitter.

[54.47] Indeed the wrongdoers are in error and a raging fire.

[54.48] On the Day when they are dragged on their faces into the Fire, (it will be said to them): 'Taste the touch of the Scorching!'

[54.49] Indeed, We have created all things according to a measure.

[54.50] And Our Order is but one word like the flashing of an eye.

[54.51] And We destroyed those like you, is there any that will remember!

[54.52] All their deeds are in the Scrolls,

[54.53] everything, be it great or small, is recorded.

[54.54] Indeed, the cautious shall live amid gardens and a river,

[54.55] in a secure abode, in the presence of the Powerful King.
