[1] The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
[2] And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."
[3] And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.
[4] And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -
[5] Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].
[6] So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,
[7] Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,
[8] Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."
[9] The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.
[10] So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."
[11] Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
[12] And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.
[13] And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,
[14] Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
[15] And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?
[16] And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
[17] And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
[18] 'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
[19] Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,
[20] Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.
[21] And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
[22] And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
[23] Thamud denied the warning
[24] And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.
[25] Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."
[26] They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
[27] Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.
[28] And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].
[29] But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].
[30] And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
[31] Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.
[32] And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
[33] The people of Lot denied the warning.
[34] Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn
[35] As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.
[36] And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.
[37] And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."
[38] And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.
[39] So taste My punishment and warning.
[40] And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
[41] And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.
[42] They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
[43] Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture?
[44] Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?
[45] [Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].
[46] But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.
[47] Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.
[48] The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."
[49] Indeed, all things We created with predestination.
[50] And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.
[51] And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?
[52] And everything they did is in written records.
[53] And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.
[54] Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,
[55] In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.
