كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ
Thamûd rejected ˹the truth˺ out of arrogance,
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا
when the most wicked of them was roused ˹to kill the she-camel˺.
فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا
But the messenger of Allah warned them, “˹Do not disturb˺ Allah’s camel and her ˹turn to˺ drink!”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Still they defied him and slaughtered her. So their Lord crushed them for their crime, levelling all to the ground.1
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا
He has no fear of consequences.
