54:18 كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
— ʿAad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 54:19 إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ
●Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,
54:20 تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ
●Extracting the people 1 as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted. 54:21 فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
— And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 54:22 وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
— And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 54:23 كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
54:24 فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
— And said, "Is it one human being 1 among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 54:25 أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
●Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."
54:26 سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
— They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 54:27 إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ
●Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 1
54:28 وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ
— And inform them that the water is shared between them, 1 each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 54:29 فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ
●But they called their companion, 1 and he dared 2 and hamstrung [her]. 54:30 فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
— And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 54:31 إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ
— Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 54:32 وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
— And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 54:33 كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
— The people of Lot denied the warning. 54:34 إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَـٰهُم بِسَحَرٍ
●Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn.
