| 54:2 | | And if they see any sign, they turn their faces and say this is magic perpetual. |
| 54:3 | | And they belied and followed their desires, and every affair has already been resolved. |
| 54:4 | | And undoubtedly, there has come to them those tidings wherein there was enough to check. |
| 54:5 | | Perfect wisdom, but warners profit them not. |
| 54:6 | | So, turn you away from them. The day when the caller will call towards a harsh unrecognized thing. |
| 54:7 | | Casting down their eyes, they will come out of the Graves as they are locusts scattered. |
| 54:8 | | Hastening towards the Caller. The infidels will say, 'this day is hard'. |
| 54:9 | | The people of Nuh belied before them, they declared Our bondman to be liar and said, 'he is a madman and scolded him'. me. |
| 54:10 | | He therefore prayed to his Lord, saying 'I am vanquished, do then take revenge for me. |
| 54:11 | | Then We opened the doors of heaven with forceful flowing water. |
| 54:12 | | And We made the earth flow with springs, so the two waters met to such a quantity, which was already decreed. |
| 54:13 | | And We bore Nuh on a thing of planks and nails. |
| 54:14 | | Floating before Our eyes, a recompense for him who was rejected. |
| 54:15 | | And We left it as a sign. Is there then any one who would pay attention? |
| 54:16 | | Therefore, how were My torment and My warnings? |
| 54:17 | | And verily, We have made Quran easy for remembering, is there then any one to remember? |
| 54:18 | | Aad belied, then how was My torment and My warnings? |

| 54:23 | | Thamud belied the Messengers. |
| 54:24 | | And they said, 'shall we follow a man from among our selves? Then we in deed are misled and mad. |
| 54:25 | | Has the Reminder been sent down upon him from all among us? Nay, rather he is great liar, self-boaster. |
| 54:26 | | Very soon, tomorrow they will know who was a big liar, self-boaster? |
| 54:27 | | We are to send the she Camel for their trial, therefore O Saleh! Watch them and have patience. |
| 54:28 | | And inform them that the water has been divided between them in shares. He who has his turn should be presented at the share. |
| 54:29 | | Then they called their companion and he after taking the sword hamstrung her. |
| 54:30 | | Then how were My torment and My warnings |
| 54:31 | | We sent against them a single uproar, hence they became like the left over grass of enclosure builders, dry, trampled. |

| 54:33 | | The people of Lut belied the Messengers. |
| 54:34 | | Verily, We sent over them a storm of stones except the family of Lut. We rescued them by early dawn. |
| 54:35 | | As a favour from Us. Thus do We recompense him who is grateful. |
| 54:36 | | And surely, he had warned them of Our grasp, but they doubted in the Commandments of warning. |
| 54:37 | | They intended to solicit him from his guests, so We obliterated their every saying, 'taste My torment and My warning. |
| 54:38 | | And undoubtedly, there came upon them early in the morning a lasting torment. |
| 54:39 | | Taste then My torment and My warning. |
| 54:40 | | And undoubtedly, We made Quran easy for remembering. Is there then any one to remember? |

| 54:45 | | Now this multitude is being driven out and they will turn their backs. |
| 54:46 | | Nay, rather the Hour is their promise and the Hour is the hardest and bitterest. |
| 54:47 | | Surely, the culprits are misled and mad. |
| 54:48 | | The day when they shall be dragged into the fire on their faces and it will be said to them, 'taste the flame of the Hell. |
| 54:49 | | Undoubtedly, We created every thing according to an estimate |
| 54:50 | | And Our work is only a matter as the twinkling of an eye |
| 54:51 | | And undoubtedly, We have destroyed your likes, is there anyone to look into? |
| 54:52 | | And whatever they have done is in the Books. |
