The Imminent Happening!

What is the Imminent Happening?

And what can let you know what the Imminent happening is?

Thamūd and ‘Ād had denied (the happening of) the Shocking Event (the Day of Judgment).

As for Thamūd, they were destroyed by that (dreadful cry), which exceeded all limits.

And as for ‘Ād, they were destroyed by a violent windstorm

that He imposed on them for seven nights and eight consecutive days; so you could see them thrown on the ground, as if they were trunks of hollow palm-trees.
