Chapter: 54, Al Qamar

54-1 : The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
54-2 : But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
54-3 : They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
54-4 : There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
54-5 : Mature wisdom; - but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
54-6 : Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
54-7 : They will come forth, - their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
54-8 : Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller! - "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
54-9 : Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
54-10 : Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
54-11 : So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
54-12 : And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
54-13 : But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm - fibre:
54-14 : She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
54-15 : And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
54-16 : But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
54-17 : And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
54-18 : The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
54-19 : For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
54-20 : Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm - trees torn up (from the ground).
54-21 : Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
54-22 : But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
54-23 : The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners.
54-24 : For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!
54-25 : "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
54-26 : Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
54-27 : For We will send the she - camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!
54-28 : And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns).
54-29 : But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).
54-30 : Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
54-31 : For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.
54-32 : And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
54-33 : The people of Lut rejected (his) warning.
54-34 : We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn, -
54-35 : As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
54-36 : And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning.
54-37 : And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."
54-38 : Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them:
54-39 : "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning."
54-40 : And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
54-41 : To the People of Pharaoh, too, aforetime, came Warners (from Allah).
54-42 : The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will.
54-43 : Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books?
54-44 : Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?
54-45 : Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs.
54-46 : Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter.
54-47 : Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.
54-48 : The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!"
54-49 : Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure.
54-50 : And Our Command is but a single (Act), - like the twinkling of an eye.
54-51 : And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition?
54-52 : All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds):
54-53 : Every matter, small and great, is on record.
54-54 : As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers,
54-55 : In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent.
