Al-Mu'minun 23:41 فاخذتهم الصيحة بالحق فجعلناهم غثاء فبعدا للقوم الظالمين ٤١

23:41
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ

فَبُعۡدٗا
لِّلۡقَوۡمِ
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in truth (with justice), and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, disobedient to His Messengers).

The Story of `Ad or Thamud

Allah tells us that after the people of Nuh, He created another nation. It was said that this was `Ad, because they were the successors of the people of Nuh. Or it was said that they were Thamud, because Allah says:

Chapter 23, Page 344, Juz 18

33. And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, and whom We had given the luxuries and comforts of this life, said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he eats of that which you eat, and drinks of what you drink. 34. "If you were to obey a human being like yourselves, then verily you indeed would be losers. 35. "Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive (resurrected)? 36. "Far, very far is that which you are promised! 37. "There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live! And we are not going to be resurrected! 38. "He is only a man who has invented a lie against Allâh, and we are not going to believe in him." 39. He said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me." 40. (Allâh) said: "In a little while, they are sure to be regretful." 41. So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in truth (with justice), and We made them as rubbish of dead plants. So away with the people who are Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, disobedient to His Messengers). 42. Then, after them, We created other generations. 43. No nation can advance their term, nor can they delay it. 44. Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him; so We made them follow one another (to destruction), and We made them as Ahadîth (the true stories for mankind to learn a lesson from them). So away with a people who believe not!
