Translation of Verse 23-40

23. Thamûd rejected the warnings ˹as well˺,

24. arguing, "How can we follow one ˹average˺ human being from among us? We would then truly be misguided and insane.

25. Has the revelation been sent down ˹only˺ to him out of ˹all of˺ us? In fact, he is a boastful liar."

26. ˹It was revealed to Ṣâliḥ,˺ "They will soon know who the boastful liar is.

27. We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them ˹closely˺, and have patience.

28. And tell them that the ˹drinking˺ water must be divided between them ˹and her˺, each taking a turn to drink ˹every other day˺."

29. But they roused a companion of theirs, so he dared to kill ˹her˺.

30. Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!

31. Indeed, We sent against them ˹only˺ one ˹mighty˺ blast, leaving them like the twigs of fence-builders.

32. And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?

33. The people of Lot ˹also˺ rejected the warnings.

34. We unleashed upon them a storm of stones. As for ˹the believers of˺ Lot's family, We delivered them before dawn

35. as a blessing from Us. This is how We reward whoever gives thanks.

36. He had already warned them of Our ˹crushing˺ blow but they disputed the warnings.

37. And they even demanded his angel-guests from him, 1140 so We blinded their eyes. ˹And they were told,˺ "Taste then My punishment and warnings!"

38. And indeed, by the early morning they were overwhelmed by an unrelenting torment.

39. ˹Again they were told,˺ "Taste now My punishment and warnings!"

40. And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?


Commentary

1140. Who came in the form of handsome men.
