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.

Muhammad Sarwar
