And as for Thamūd 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.
- 41:1717
وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمَىٰ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَاعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُونِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
And regarding the Thamud, We showed them the right path – so they chose to be blind above being guided, therefore the thunderbolt of the disgraceful punishment overcame them – the recompense of their deeds.
