Read in Context

Chapter 54, Page 530, Juz 27

23. Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 24. saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 25. Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 26. (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. 27. We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 28. Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 29. Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 30. So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! 31. Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 32. Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed?
