Chapter 54, Page 531, Juz 27

41. And indeed, the warnings ˹also˺ came to the people of Pharaoh. 42. ˹But˺ they rejected all of Our signs, so We seized them with the ˹crushing˺ grip of the Almighty, Most Powerful. 43. Now, are you ˹Meccan˺ disbelievers superior to those ˹destroyed peoples˺? Or have you ˹been granted˺ immunity ˹from punishment˺ in divine Books? 44. Or do they say, “We are all ˹a˺ united ˹front˺, bound to prevail.”? 45. ˹Soon˺ their united front will be defeated and ˹forced to˺ flee. 46. Better yet, the Hour is their appointed time—and the Hour will be most catastrophic and most bitter. 47. Indeed, the wicked are ˹entrenched˺ in misguidance, and ˹are bound for˺ blazes. 48. On the Day they will be dragged into the Fire on their faces, ˹they will be told,˺ “Taste the touch of Hell!” 49. Indeed, We have created everything, perfectly preordained. 50. Our command is but a single word, done in the blink of an eye. 51. We have already destroyed the likes of you. So will any ˹of you˺ be mindful? 52. Everything they have done is ˹listed˺ in ˹their˺ records. 53. Every matter, small and large, is written ˹precisely˺. 54. Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and rivers, 55. at the Seat of Honour in the presence of the Most Powerful Sovereign.
