About this verse
In context
Read the whole surahوَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍۢ مُّقِيمٍ
And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةًۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ
And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.
