Quran 11:68 — Hud, verse 68
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
as though they had never lived and flourished there. Yes, the Thamud denied their Lord- so away with the Thamud!
كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ ثَمُودَ كَفَرُوا رَبَّهُمْ ۗ أَلَا بُعْدًا لِثَمُودَ
ka-an lam yaghnaw fīhā alā inna thamūdā kafarū rabbahum alā buʿ'dan lithamūda
