Thamud denied the warning 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
