And tell them that the ˹drinking˺ water must be divided between them ˹and her˺, each taking a turn to drink ˹every other day˺.” 54:28
But they roused a companion of theirs, so he dared to kill ˹her˺. 54:29
Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings! 54:30
Indeed, We sent against them ˹only˺ one ˹mighty˺ blast, leaving them like the twigs of fence-builders. 54:31
And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful? 54:32
The people of Lot ˹also˺ rejected the warnings. 54:33
We unleashed upon them a storm of stones. As for ˹the believers of˺ Lot’s family, We delivered them before dawn 54:34
as a blessing from Us. This is how We reward whoever gives thanks. 54:35
He had already warned them of Our ˹crushing˺ blow but they disputed the warnings. 54:36
And they even demanded his angel-guests from him,1 so We blinded their eyes. ˹And they were told,˺ “Taste then My punishment and warnings!” 54:37
And indeed, by the early morning they were overwhelmed by an unrelenting torment. 54:38
˹Again they were told,˺ “Taste now My punishment and warnings!” 54:39
And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful? 54:40
And indeed, the warnings ˹also˺ came to the people of Pharaoh. 54:41
˹But˺ they rejected all of Our signs, so We seized them with the ˹crushing˺ grip of the Almighty, Most Powerful. 54:42
Now, are you ˹Meccan˺ disbelievers superior to those ˹destroyed peoples˺? Or have you ˹been granted˺ immunity ˹from punishment˺ in divine Books? 54:43
Or do they say, “We are all ˹a˺ united ˹front˺, bound to prevail.”? 54:44
˹Soon˺ their united front will be defeated and ˹forced to˺ flee.1 54:45
Better yet, the Hour is their appointed time—and the Hour will be most catastrophic and most bitter. 54:46
Indeed, the wicked are ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, and ˹are bound for˺ blazes. 54:47
On the Day they will be dragged into the Fire on their faces, ˹they will be told,˺ “Taste the touch of Hell!”1 54:48
Indeed, We have created everything, perfectly preordained. 54:49
