Thamud denied the warning 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 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 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 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted 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 And indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow: 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
