11. Thamud denied (the truth) because of their rebelliousness [10].
[10] This reality is explained through a historical example, and the nation of Thamud is chosen for this example because their dwelling was near Makkah and their stories were well known among the people of Makkah. That is, the nation of Thamud also chose the path of rebellion, disregarded this reality, and denied the signs of Allah and His Messenger.
