and We made them a sign for mankind,
and We have prepared for the wrongdoers
a painful punishment.
38 And ‘Ād and Thamūd,

41 When they see you they just take you in derision:
‘Is this the one whom Allah has sent as an apostle!?
42 Indeed he was about to lead us astray
from our gods,

when they sight the punishment,
