54:1  The Hour (the time when the present world will end and the Hereafter begin) has drawn near and the moon is visited
54:2  And if they see a sign they turn away and say, "Another delusion!"
54:3  And they speak lies and follow their own desires. And every matter does come to a settlement
54:4  And surely there has come to them some of the news containing lesson
54:5  In mature wisdom; but warnings avail not
54:6  So turn away from them on the Day when the Summoner summons to a thing forbidding
54:7  With downcast eyes, they come out of the graves as though they were locusts dispersed
54:8  Hurrying on toward the Summoner, the suppressors of Truth say, "This is a hard day."
54:9  Before them, Noah's people had denied! They denied Our devotee and said he was a mad man! And thus rebuffed was he
54:10  Then he prayed to his Lord, "I am defeated, so help me!"
54:11  We then opened gates of the sky with pouring wate
54:12  And We caused springs in the earth to gush forth, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose
54:13  And We carried him [Noah] upon something [Ark made] of planks and nail
54:14  That sailed under Our observation, in compensation for one [Noah] who was rejected
54:15  And We did leave it [Ark] behind as a Sign for posterity; but is there any to take heed?
54:16  And see how My punishment was — and My warnings
54:17  And We have certainly made the Qur'aan easy for cultivating Firm Faith in and Remembrance of Me; but is there any to take heed
54:18  (The anscient tribe of) AAad rejected [divine guidance]. How then was My punishment and My warnings
54:19  We did indeed send upon them a furiously blowing wind on a day of constant calamity
54:20  It [wind] swept away men as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees
54:21  How then was My punishment and My warnings
54:22  And We have certainly made the Qur'aan easy for cultivating Firm Faith in and Remembrance of Me; but is there any to take heed
54:23  (The ancient tribe of) Thamood rejected warnings
54:24  They said, "Is it an individual man, amongst us all, that we should follow? Then we are indeed into error and madness."
54:25  Is the Zikr [divine revelation] bestowed only upon him, amongst us all? Nay, but he is an insolent liar
54:26  To-morrow they shall know who the insolent liar is
54:27  We are indeed sending the she-camel by way of a test for them. Just watch them and have patience
54:28  And tell them that the water is to be shared among them; every drink to be accounted for
54:29  But then they prevailed upon one of their companions to take hold of and hamstrung (her)
54:30  How then was My punishment and My warnings
54:31  We sent upon them just one loud, piercing sound, and they became as the dry twigs used by the builder of a cattle-fold
54:32  And We have certainly made the Qur'aan easy for cultivating Firm Faith in and Remembrance of Me; but is there any to take heed
54:33  Lot's people rejected warnings
54:34  We did indeed send a violent storm upon them all save the family of Lot, whom We saved in the wee hours before daw
54:35  As favour from Us. Thus do We reward a grateful one.
54:36  And he did warn them of Our Grip, but they had doubts on the veracity of the warnings
54:37  And they did try to seduce him about his guests. So We blinded their eyes, "Taste now My punishment and My warnings!"
54:38  And the punishment decreed did befall them early in the morning
54:39  "Taste then My punishment and My warnings!"
54:40  And We have certainly made the Qur'aan easy for cultivating Firm Faith in and Remembrance of Me; but is there any to take heed
54:41  And warnings did come to the house of Phara
54:42  They denied all Our Signs. Therefore We gripped them with a mighty, powerful Grip
54:43  Are your Truth-suppressors better than those [mentioned above], or have you some immunity [decreed for them] in the Scriptures
54:44  Or do they claim they are a united front
54:45  The front will soon be routed and put to flight
54:46  Moreover, the Hour (the time when the present world will end and the Hereafter begin) is their tryst with destiny, and the Hour shall be more grievous and bitter
54:47  The sinners are indeed into error and madness
54:48  The Day they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces to taste the feel of Hell
54:49  We have indeed created every thing to a measure.
54:50  And Our Command is just one! Like the twinkling of an eye
54:51  And We did destroy the likes of you; but is there any to take heed
54:52  And every thing they did is in the Records
54:53  And everything, small and big, is duly recorded
54:54  The pious indeed will be among gardens and river
54:55  Seated in honour near the Most Powerful King
