Yusuf Ali (Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intelligence and skill. Dr. Ghali And Aad and Thamud-and (their fate) is already evident to you from their dwellings.
