Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us?

Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 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 Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning. 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
