<s>[INST]Chapter 53 verse 50[/INST]And that He is the One Who destroyed the first (people of) ‘Ad,</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 2[/INST]And if they (the disbelievers) see a Sign (miracle) they turn their faces away and say: ‘This is the powerful magic ever running down through ages.’</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 3[/INST]And they have rejected (the Truth even now) and followed their vain desires. And everything (that has been promised) is to take place at the appointed time.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 4[/INST]And indeed the news has come to them (of the earlier communities) containing lessons of warning and admonition (on disbelief and disobedience).</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 5[/INST](This Qur’an) is perfect intellect and reason. Are the Warners still not of any benefit?</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 7[/INST]With eyes cast down, they will come out of their graves like scattered locusts,</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 8[/INST]Rushing towards the caller running. The disbelievers would say: ‘This is a very hard Day.’</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 9[/INST]The People of Nuh (Noah) also denied before this. So they belied Our servant (Nuh — Noah, the Messenger) and said: ‘(He) is mad.’ And he was given threats.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 10[/INST]So he prayed to his Lord: ‘I am powerless (before the transgressions of my people) so exact revenge.’</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 11[/INST]Then We opened the gates of heaven with torrential rain.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 12[/INST]And We burst springs from the earth. So the water (of the earth and the heaven) collected for the same purpose that had been decreed already (for their destruction).</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 13[/INST]And We carried him (Nuh — Noah) in the (Ark) built with planks and nails,</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 14[/INST]Which floated before Our eyes (under Our security. All this) was done to exact revenge for him Nuh (Noah) who was rejected.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 15[/INST]And surely We made (the ruins of the Deluge) subsist as a Sign. So is there anyone who will think (and take advice)?</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 16[/INST]So how My torment and My warning were!</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 17[/INST]And indeed We have made the Qur’an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice?</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 19[/INST]Surely We sent upon them a howling windstorm on a day of lasting evil (in their favour),</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 20[/INST]That plucked out people as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 22[/INST]And indeed We have made the Qur’an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice?</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 23[/INST](The people of) Thamud also rejected the Warning Messengers.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 24[/INST]So they said: ‘Are we to follow a human being who is one of us? Then we shall certainly run into error and insanity.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 25[/INST]Has the direction and guidance (Revelation) been sent down to him alone out of all of us? The truth is that he is a great liar, self-conceited (and arrogant).</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 26[/INST]They will come to know tomorrow (on the Day of Judgment) who is a great liar and self-conceited (and arrogant).</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 27[/INST]Indeed We are going to send a she-camel for them to test them. So, (O Salih,) wait for their (end) and continue observing patience.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 28[/INST]Make it known to them that water has been divided between them (and the she-camel). Everyone will be served with the share of water by his turn.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 29[/INST]So they called one of their companions (named Qidar). He attacked (the she-camel with a sword) and hamstrung her.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 30[/INST]Then how (awful) My Torment and My Warning were!</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 31[/INST]Verily We sent upon them a terrible roar. So they became like a thatcher’s trampled stubble.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 32[/INST]And indeed We have made the Qur’an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice?</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 33[/INST]The People of Lut (Lot) also rejected the Warners.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 34[/INST]Surely We sent a windstorm raining stones upon them except the family of Lut (Lot). We saved them (from the torment) in the later part of the night,</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 35[/INST]With a special favour from Us. In the same way We give reward to him who gives thanks.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 36[/INST]And no doubt Lut (Lot) warned them of Our seizure but, having doubts about his warnings, they denied.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 37[/INST]And indeed they made up their minds to snatch from Lut (Lot) his guests. So We erased the structure of their eyes and stripped them of sight, then (said to them:) ‘Taste My punishment and warning.’</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 38[/INST]And surely the everlasting punishment reached them early in the morning.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 39[/INST]Then (it was said to them:) ‘Taste My punishment and warning.’</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 40[/INST]And indeed We have made the Qur’an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice?</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 41[/INST]And surely the Warners came to the People of Pharaoh (as well).</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 42[/INST]They denied all Our Signs. Then We seized them with the seizure befitting the Glory of Almighty, All-Powerful.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 43[/INST](O Quraish of Makka!) Are your disbelievers better than the people (before) or has your salvation been written in the (Revealed) Books?</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 45[/INST]Soon this party will be defeated (in the battlefield of Badr) and they will flee away turning their backs.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 46[/INST]But their (actual) promise is the Last Hour and the Last Hour is extremely terrible and most agonizing.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 47[/INST]Assuredly, the evildoers are in (the fold of) error and insanity (or Fire).</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 48[/INST]The Day when they will be dragged into Hell on their faces, (it will be said to them:) ‘Taste burning in Hell.’</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 49[/INST]Surely We have created everything according to a fixed measure.</s>


<s>[INST]Chapter 54 verse 50[/INST]And Our Command comes into action once and for all as the twinkling of an eye.</s>
