وَأَمَّا
ثَمُودُ
فَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ
فَاسْتَحَبُّوا
الْعَمَى
عَلَى
الْهُدَى
فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ
صَاعِقَةُ
الْعَذَابِ
الْهُونِ
بِمَا
كَانُوا
يَكْسِبُونَ
wa-ʾammā thamūdu fa-hadaynāhum fa-staḥabbū l-ʿamā ʿalā l-hudā fa-ʾakhadhathum ṣāʿiqatu l-ʿadhābi l-hūni bi-mā kānū yaksibūna
We sent guidance to the people of Thamud but they preferred blindness to guidance so a humiliating blast of torment struck them for their evil deeds.
