Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali, Muhammad Muhsin Khan — 528

53:45 45. And that He (Allâh) creates the pairs, male and female,

53:46 46. From Nutfah (drops of semen - male and female discharges) when it is emitted.

53:47 47. And that upon Him (Allâh) is another bringing forth (Resurrection).

53:48 48. And that it is He (Allâh) Who gives much or a little (of wealth and contentment)

53:49 49. And that He (Allâh) is the Lord of Sirius (the star which the pagan Arabs used to worship).

53:50 50. And that it is He (Allâh) Who destroyed the former ‘Âd (people),

53:51 51. And Thamûd (people): He spared none of them.

53:52 52. And the people of Nûh (Noah) aforetime. Verily, they were more unjust and more rebellious and transgressing [in disobeying Allâh and His Messenger Nûh (Noah) عليه السلام].

53:53 53. And He destroyed the overthrown cities [of Sodom to which Prophet Lût (Lot) was sent].

53:54 54. So there covered them that which did cover (i.e. torment with stones).

53:55 55. Then which of the Graces of your Lord (O man!) will you doubt?

53:56 56. This (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is a warner (Messenger) of the (series of) warners (Messengers) of old.[6]

53:57 57. The Day of Resurrection draws near.

53:58 58. None besides Allâh can avert it (or advance it or delay it).

53:59 59. Do you then wonder at this recitation (the Qur’ân)?

53:60 60. And you laugh at it and weep not,

53:61 61. Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.).

53:62 62. So fall you down in prostration to Allâh and worship Him (Alone).

54:1 1. The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon).[1]

54:2 2. And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic."

54:3 3. They belied (the Verses of Allâh - this Qur’ân), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled (according to the kind of deeds: good deeds will take their doers to Paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to Hell).

54:4 4. And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur’ân) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil),

54:5 5. Perfect wisdom (this Qur’ân), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not.

54:6 6. So (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) withdraw from them. The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.
