11 . Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water
12 . And caused the earth to gush forth springs , so that the waters met for a predestined purpose .
13 . And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails ,
14 . That ran ( upon the waters ) in Our sight , as a reward for him who was rejected .

23 . ( The tribe of ) Thamud rejected warnings
24 . For they said : Is it a mortal man , alone among us , that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness .

30 . Then see how ( dreadful ) was My punishment after My warnings!

33 . The folk of Lo! rejected warnings .
34 . Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them ( all ) save the family of Lot , whom We rescued in the last watch of the night ,
35 . As grace from Us . Thus We reward him who giveth thanks .
36 . And he indeed had warned them of Our blow , but they did doubt the warnings .
37 . They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose . Then We blinded their eyes ( and said ) : Taste now My punishment after My warnings!

39 . Now taste My punishment after My warnings!
40 . And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember ; but is there any that remembereth?

55 . Firmly established in the favor of a Mighty King .
