ذَلِكَ
بِأَنَّهُمْ
كَانَت
تَّأْتِيهِمْ
رُسُلُهُم
بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ
فَكَفَرُوا
فَأَخَذَهُمُ
اللَّهُ
إِنَّهُ
قَوِيٌّ
شَدِيدُ
الْعِقَابِ
dhālika bi-ʾannahum kānat taʾtīhim rusuluhum bi-l-bayyināti fa-kafarū fa-ʾakhadhahumu llāhu ʾinnahū qawiyyun shadīdu l-ʿiqābi
That was because their apostles used to bring them manifest proofs, but they defied [them]. So Allah seized them. Indeed He is all-strong, severe in retribution.
— Ali Quli Qarai
That was because there came to them their messengers with Clear (Signs), but they rejected them: So Allah called them to account: for He is Full of Strength, Strict in Punishment.
