Al-Fajr 89:6–8
Iram of the pillars
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ٦ إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ٧ ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ٨
The meaning, simply
Have you not seen, O Prophet, peace be upon him, what your Lord did with the people of 'Aad, the tribe of Iram, so strong, with buildings raised on tall pillars, the like of which were never made in any land?
