Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali, Muhammad Muhsin Khan — 530

54:28 28. And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them, each one’s right to drink being established (by turns).

54:29 29. But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her).

54:30 30. Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?

54:31 31. Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry), and they became like the stubble of a fold-builder.

54:32 32. And indeed, We have made the Qur’ân easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

54:33 33. The people of Lût (Lot) belied the warnings.

54:34 34. Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lût (Lot), them We saved in the last hour of the night,

54:35 35. As a Favour from Us. Thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us).

54:36 36. And he [Lût (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Seizure (punishment), but they did doubt the warnings!

54:37 37. And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, (saying) "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

54:38 38. And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning.

54:39 39. "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings."

54:40 40. And indeed, We have made the Qur’ân easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?

54:41 41. And indeed, warnings came to the people of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) [through Mûsâ (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)].

54:42 42. (They) belied all Our Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable (Omnipotent).

54:43 43. Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these [nations of Nûh (Noah), Lût (Lot), Sâlih, and the people of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) who were destroyed)? Or have you an immunity (against Our Torment) in the Divine Scriptures?

54:44 44. Or say they: "We are a great multitude, victorious?"

54:45 45. Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show their backs.

54:46 46. Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter.

54:47 47. Verily the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals) are in error (in this world) and will burn (in the Hell-fire in the Hereafter).

54:48 48. The Day they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire (it will be said to them): "Taste you the touch of Hell!"[2]

54:49 49. Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz).
