Not

(is) this

but

(the) custom

(of) the former (people)

And not

we

(are) the ones to be punished

So they denied him

then We destroyed them

Indeed

in

that

surely, is a sign

but not

are

most of them

believers

And indeed

your Lord

surely, He

(is) the All-Mighty

the Most Merciful

Denied

Thamud

the Messengers

When

said

to them

their brother

Salih

Will not

you fear (Allah)

Indeed, I am

to you

a Messenger

trustworthy

So fear

Allah

and obey me

And not

I ask you

for it

any

payment

Not

(is) my payment

except

from

(the) Lord

(of) the worlds

Will you be left

in

what

(is) here

secure

In

gardens

and springs

And cornfields

and date-palms

its spadix

soft

And you carve

of

the mountains

houses

skillfully

So fear

Allah

and obey me

And (do) not

obey

(the) command

(of) the transgressors

Those who

spread corruption

in

the earth

and (do) not

reform

They said

Only

you

(are) of

those bewitched

Not

you

(are) except

a man

like us

so bring

a sign

if

you

(are) of

the truthful

He said

This

(is) a she-camel

For her

(is a share of) drink

and for you

(is a share of) drink

(on) a day

known

And (do) not

touch her

with harm

lest seize you

(the) punishment

(of) a Day

Great

But they hamstrung her

then they became

regretful

So seized them

the punishment

Indeed

in

that

surely is a sign

but not

are

most of them

believers

And indeed

your Lord

surely He

(is) the All-Mighty

the Most Merciful
