Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 Why - on him alone from among all of us should a [divine] reminder have been bestowed? Nay, but he is a boastful liar!" 25 "Tomorrow they will know who is the impudent liar! 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 And assuredly he had warned them of Our grasp, but: they doubted 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 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
