  • 54:1

    The moment drew near, and the moon was split.

  • 54:2

    If they see a sign, they turn away and say, "Continuous magic!"

  • 54:3

    They rejected, 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 cicadas.

  • 54:8

    Hastening towards the caller, the ingrates will say, "This is a difficult day."

  • 54:9

    The people of Noah rejected before them. They rejected Our servant and said, "He is crazy!" and he was oppressed.

  • 54:11

    So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring water.

  • 54:12

  • 54:13

  • 54:21

    So how was My retribution after the warnings!

  • 54:22

    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 message come down to him, instead of 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 observe them and be patient.

  • 54:28

    But they called on their friend, and he was paid to slaughter.

  • 54:30

  • 54:31

    We sent upon them one scream, whereupon they became like harvested hay.

  • 54:32

  • 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 those who are appreciative.

  • 54:36

    He warned them about Our punishment, but they ridiculed the warnings.

  • 54:37

    They sought to remove him from his guests; so We diverted their eyes. "Taste My retribution; you have been warned."

  • 54:38

    In the early morning, a devastating retribution struck them.

  • 54:39

    "Taste My retribution; you have been warned."

  • 54:40

    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 ingrates better than those? Or have you been absolved by the book?

  • 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 moment is their appointed time, and the moment 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 Saqar!"

  • 54:49

    Everything We have created in measure.

  • 54:50

    Our commands are done at once with the blink of an eye.

  • 54:51

    We have destroyed your counterparts. Do any of you wish to learn?

  • 54:52

    Everything they did is in the records.

  • 54:53

    Everything, small or large, is written down.

  • 54:54

    The righteous will be in paradises and rivers.

  • 54:55

    In a position of honor, at an Omnipotent King.
