A man came running from the farthest part of the town to call his people to obey the messengers that were sent to guide them to the worship of Allah alone. He used logical arguments and reminded them that they will ultimately return to Allah. Despite this, his people killed him. Allah then destroyed the entire town with a single punishment, showing that stubborn disbelief will meet a terrible end.

And put forward to them a
similitude: the (story of the)
dwellers of the town, when there
came Messengers to them.
When We sent to them two
Messengers, they belied them both;
so We reinforced them with a third,
and they said: "Verily we have been
sent to you as Messengers."
They (people of the town) said:
"You are only human beings like
ourselves, and the Most Gracious
(Allah) has revealed nothing. You
are only telling lies."

That was because there
came to them their
Messengers with clear
proofs (signs), but they
said: "Shall mere men
guide us?" So they
disbelieved and turned
away (from the truth). But ‫التغابن‬
Allah was not in need (of
them). And Allah is Rich
(Free of all needs), Worthy
of all praise.

"If you were to obey a

yourselves, then verily
you indeed would be ‫المؤمنون‬

The Messengers said: "Our Lord
knows that we have been sent as
Messengers to you,
"And our duty is only to convey
plainly (the Message)."
They (people) said: "For us, we see
an evil omen from you: if you cease
not, we will surely stone you, and a
painful torment will touch you from
us."
They (Messengers) said: "Your evil
omens is with you!
(Do you call it "evil omen") because
you are admonished? Nay, but you
are transgressors.

And indeed We sent to Thamud their
brother Saleh, saying: "Worship Allah
(Alone and none else). Then look! They
became two parties (believers and
disbelievers) quarreling with each other."
He said: "O my people! Why do you
seek to hasten the evil (torment) before
the good (Allah's Mercy)? Why seek you
not the Forgiveness of Allah, that you
may receive mercy?"
They said: "We augur ill omen from you
and those with you." He said: "Your ill
omen is with Allah; nay, but you are a ‫النمل‬
people that are being tested."

9. The Believer of Ya-Seen
But whenever good came to
them, they said: "Ours is
this." And if evil afflicted
them, they ascribed it to evil
omens connected with Musa
(Moses) and those with him.
Be informed! Verily, their evil ‫الأعراف‬
omens are with Allah but
most of them know not.

And there came a man running from the
farthest part of the town. He said: "O my
people! Obey the Messengers.
"Obey those who ask no wages of you
(for themselves), and who are rightly
guided.
"And why should I not worship Him
(Allah Alone) Who has created me and
to Whom you shall be returned.
"Shall I take besides Him gods? If the
Most Gracious (Allah) intends me any
harm, their intercession will be of no use
for me whatsoever, nor can they save
me?
"Then verily, I should be in plain error.

"Verily! I have believed in your
Lord, so listen to me!"
It was said (to him when the
disbelievers killed him): "Enter
Paradise." He said: "Would that my
people knew
"That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven
me, and made me of the honored
ones!"
And We sent not against his people
after him a host from the heaven,
nor was it needful for Us to send
(such a thing).
It was but one shout and lo! they
(all) were silent (dead, destroyed).
