(54:1) The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]. (54:2) And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic." (54:3) And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement. (54:4) And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence - (54:5) Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them]. (54:6) So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding, (54:7) Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading, (54:8) Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day." (54:9) The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled. (54:10) So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help." (54:11) Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down (54:12) And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined. (54:13) And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails, (54:14) Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied. (54:15) And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember? (54:16) And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. (54:17) And We have certainly made the Qur`an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? (54:18) `Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
