And He created the pairs—males and females— 53:45
from a sperm-drop when it is emitted. 53:46
And it is upon Him to bring about re-creation. 53:47
And He is the One Who enriches and impoverishes. 53:48
And He alone is the Lord of Sirius.1 53:49
And He destroyed the first ˹people of˺ ’Ȃd, 53:50
and ˹then˺ Thamûd,1 sparing no one. 53:51
And before ˹that He destroyed˺ the people of Noah, who were truly far worse in wrongdoing and transgression. 53:52
And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down. 53:53
How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺!1 53:54
Now, which of your Lord’s favours will you dispute? 53:55
This ˹Prophet˺ is a warner like earlier ones. 53:56
The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near. 53:57
None but Allah can disclose it. 53:58
Do you find this revelation astonishing, 53:59
laughing ˹at it˺ and not weeping ˹in awe˺, 53:60
while persisting in heedlessness? 53:61
Instead, prostrate to Allah and worship ˹Him alone˺! 53:62
The Hour has drawn near and the moon was split ˹in two˺.1 54:1
Yet, whenever they see a sign, they turn away,1 saying, “Same old magic!” 54:2
They rejected ˹the truth˺ and followed their own desires—and every matter will be settled— 54:3
even though the stories ˹of destroyed nations˺ that have already come to them are a sufficient deterrent. 54:4
˹This Quran is˺ profound ˹in˺ wisdom, but warnings are of no benefit ˹to them˺. 54:5
So turn away from them ˹O Prophet˺. ˹And wait for˺ the Day ˹when˺ the caller1 will summon ˹them˺ for something horrifying.2 54:6
