Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali, Muhammad Muhsin Khan — 529

54:7 7. They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad,

54:8 8. Hastening towards the caller. The disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day."

54:9 9. The people of Nûh (Noah) denied (their Messenger) before them. They rejected Our slave, and said: "A madman!" and he was insolently rebuked and threatened.

54:10 10. Then he invoked his Lord (saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!"

54:11 11. So We opened the gates of the heaven with water pouring forth.

54:12 12. And We caused springs to gush forth from the earth. So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined.

54:13 13. And We carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails,

54:14 14. Floating under Our Eyes: a reward for him who had been rejected!

54:15 15. And indeed, We have left this as a sign. Then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

54:16 16. Then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

54:17 17. And We have indeed made the Qur’ân easy to understand and remember; then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition)?

54:18 18. ‘Âd (people) belied (their Prophet, Hûd); then how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

54:19 19. Verily, We sent against them a furious wind of harsh voice on a day of evil omen and continuous calamity.

54:20 20. Plucking out men as if they were uprooted stems of date-palms.

54:21 21. Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

54:22 22. And We have indeed made the Qur’ân easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

54:23 23. Thamûd (people also) belied the warnings.

54:24 24. And they said: "A man, alone among us - shall we follow him? Truly then we should be in error and distress (or madness)!"

54:25 25. "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Sâlih عليه السلام] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!"

54:26 26. Tomorrow they will come to know who is the liar, the insolent one!

54:27 27. Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Sâlih عليه السلام], and be patient!
