فُصِّلَت : ١٧

  • وَأَمَّا And as for
  • ثَمُودُ Thamud
  • فَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمۡ We guided them
  • فَٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ but they preferred
  • ٱلۡعَمَىٰ [the] blindness
  • عَلَى over
  • ٱلۡهُدَىٰ the guidance
  • فَأَخَذَتۡهُمۡ so seized them
  • صَٰعِقَةُ a thunderbolt
  • ٱلۡعَذَابِ (of) the punishment
  • ٱلۡهُونِ humiliating
  • بِمَا for what
  • كَانُواْ they used (to)
  • يَكۡسِبُونَ earn
And as for Thamūd, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.
And as for Thamood, We offered them guidance, We pointed out to them the path of guidance, but they preferred blindness, they chose disbelief [as opposed], to guidance. So the thunderbolt of the humiliating chastisement seized them on account of what they used to earn.
