This passage from the Quran describes several stories from prophets in Islam. It mentions the honored guests of Ibrahim who foretold the birth of Isaac. It also references the destruction of guilty peoples like the people of Ad, who were destroyed by a destructive wind, and the people of Thamud, who were destroyed by an earthquake after disobeying God. Lastly, it calls the people of Nuh before them transgressing. The overall message seems to be warning of divine punishment for those who reject prophets or disobey God.
