Al-Qamar 54:42

Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.

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.

(They) belied all Our Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable to carry out what he Will (Omnipotent).

They rejected Our signs, all of them, so We seized them—the seizure of an Almighty Omnipotent.
