Thamud denied the warning 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and have patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 We sent upon them a single blast of sound and they were left like hay to be used by the cattle. 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 sandstorm against them which destroyed them all, except the family of Lot, whom We saved at the break of dawn, 34 through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
