(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
