52. And before them, the people of Noah were destroyed, for they were truly the most unjust and rebellious [35].
[35] The first 'Ad, to whom our master Hud was sent, and the second 'Ad or the people of Thamud, to whom our master Salihؑ was sent, and the people of Pharaoh—all these people were deniers of the Hereafter, arrogant, those who caused harm and suffering to their messengers, rebels against Allah, and mischief-makers. Allah Almighty destroyed them all.
