Surah Al-Qamar 

In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate 

The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. (Quran Surah Al-Qamar 54:1) 

But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic." (Quran Surah Al-Qamar 54:2)

They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad, (Quran 54:7)

She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)! (Quran 54:14) 

And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition? (Quran 54:15) 

But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning? (Quran 54:16) 

And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? (Quran 54:17)

The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. (Quran 54:33) 

We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- (Quran 54:34) 

As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. (Quran 54:35) 

And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. (Quran 54:36)

The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will. (Quran 54:42) 

Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books? (Quran 54:43)
