Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn. 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 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 a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention? 40
