وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَـٰعِقَةُ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْهُونِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

TRANSLITERATION

Waʾammā thamūdu fahadaynāhum fastaḥabbul-ʿamā ʿalal-hudā faʾakhadhathum ṣāʿiqatul-ʿadhābil-hūni bimā kānū yaksibūn

ENGLISH TRANSLATION · TALAL ITANI

And as for Thamood, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance. So the thunderbolt of the humiliating punishment seized them, because of what they used to earn.
