And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

Nothing prevented Us from sending the signs requested by the people of Mecca except that the ancients denied them when We sent such signs and so We destroyed them if We were to send them to these people of Mecca they would deny them and would thus deserve destruction. However We have judged that they be given respite so that the mission of Muhammad (s) be completed. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a sign that was apparent one that was clear and evident but they wronged they disbelieved it and were therefore destroyed. And We do not send signs miracles except for deterrence to servants so that they might believe.
