Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 54 Al-Qamar, Ayat 31-31

اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَكَانُوۡا كَهَشِيۡمِ الۡمُحۡتَظِرِ‏  ﴿54:31﴾

(54:31) Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder.21


Notes

21. The crushed and rotten bodies of the people of Thamud have been compared to the trampled and trodden twigs and pieces of bush lying around an enclosure for cattle.
