Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash 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 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How terrible was My punishment and warning. 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The people of Lot rejected the warnings. 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 they even wanted to seduce his guests -- but We blinded them, and said, "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" -- 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 40
