In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us?

We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed 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 there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
