The people of Thamud rejected Our warnings. 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall 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 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! 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 indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lot rejected 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 Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
