| 54:1 | | The Hour draws near, and the moon is breached. |
| 54:2 | | And if they see a sign, they turn away and say: "Ongoing magic!" |
| 54:3 | | And they disbelieved, and followed their desires, and every old tradition |
| 54:4 | | While the news had come to them in which there was sufficient warning. |
| 54:5 | | A perfect wisdom; but the warnings are of no benefit. |
| 54:6 | | So turn away from them; the Day will come when the caller will announce a terrible disaster. |
| 54:7 | | With their eyes humiliated, they come out of the graves like scattered locusts. |
| 54:8 | | Hastening towards the caller, the rejecters will say: "This is a difficult Day." |
| 54:9 | | The people of Noah disbelieved before them. They disbelieved Our servant and said: "He is crazy!" And he was oppressed. |
| 54:10 | | So he called on his Lord: "I am beaten, so grant me victory." |
| 54:11 | | So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring water. |
| 54:12 | | And We caused springs to gush out of the earth. Thus the waters met to a command which had been measured. |
| 54:13 | | We carried him on a craft made of slabs and mortar. |
| 54:14 | | It ran under Our watchful eyes; a reward for one who was rejected. |
| 54:15 | | And We have left it as a sign. Are there any who want to learn? |
| 54:16 | | So how was My retribution after the warnings! |
| 54:17 | | And We made the Qur'an easy to remember. Are there any who want to learn? |
| 54:18 | | 'Aad disbelieved. So how was My retribution after the warnings |
| 54:19 | | We sent upon them a violent wind, on a day of continuous misery. |
| 54:20 | | It uprooted the people as if they were decayed palm tree trunks. |
| 54:21 | | So how was My retribution after the warnings! |
| 54:22 | | And We made the Qur'an easy to remember. Are there any who will learn? |
| 54:23 | | Thamud rejected the warnings. |
| 54:24 | | They said: "Shall we follow one of us; a human being? We will then go astray, and be in Hell." |
| 54:25 | | "Has the Reminder come down to him, of all people amongst us? He is an evil liar." |
| 54:26 | | They will find out tomorrow who the evil liar is. |
| 54:27 | | We are sending the camel as a test for them. So watch them and be patient. |
| 54:28 | | And inform them that the water shall be divided between them; each shall be allowed to drink in turn. |
| 54:29 | | But they called on their friend, and he was paid to slaughter. |
| 54:30 | | So how was My retribution after the warnings! |
| 54:31 | | We sent upon them one scream, whereupon they became like harvested hay. |
| 54:32 | | And We made the Qur'an easy to remember. Are there any who will learn? |
| 54:33 | | The people of Lot rejected the warners. |
| 54:34 | | We sent upon them projectiles. Except for the family of Lot, We saved them at dawn. |
| 54:35 | | A blessing from Us; it is thus that We reward the thankful. |
| 54:36 | | And he warned them about Our punishment, but they ridiculed the warnings. |
| 54:37 | | And they sought to remove him from his guests; so We diverted their eyes. "Taste My retribution; you have been warned." |
| 54:38 | | And in the early morning, a devastating retribution struck them. |
| 54:39 | | "Taste My retribution; you have been warned." |
| 54:40 | | And We made the Qur'an easy to remember. Are there any who will learn? |
| 54:41 | | And the warnings had come to the people of Pharaoh. |
| 54:42 | | They rejected all Our signs. So We took them, the taking of the Noble, the Able. |
| 54:43 | | Are your rejecters better than those? Or have you been absolved by the scriptures? |
| 54:44 | | Or do they say: "We are a large group and we will win." |
| 54:45 | | The large group will be defeated; they will turn around and flee. |
| 54:46 | | The Hour is their appointed time, and the Hour is far worse and more painful. |
| 54:47 | | The criminals are in error and will burn. |
| 54:48 | | The Day when they will be dragged upon their faces into the Fire: "Taste the agony of the scorching heat!" |
| 54:49 | | Everything We have created in measure. |
| 54:50 | | And Our commands are done at once with the blink of an eye. |
| 54:51 | | And We have destroyed your counterparts. Do any of you wish to learn? |
| 54:52 | | And everything they had done, is in the scriptures. |
| 54:53 | | And everything, small or large, is written down |
| 54:54 | | The righteous will be in gardens and rivers |
| 54:55 | | In a position of honor, at an Omnipotent King. |
