Surah Hud — Ayah 68 (11:68)
كَأَن لَّمۡ يَغۡنَوۡاْ فِيهَآۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ثَمُودَاْ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّهُمۡۗ أَلَا بُعۡدٗا لِّثَمُودَ ٦٨
English translation (Saheeh International)
As if they had never prospered therein. Unquestionably, Thamūd denied their Lord; then, away with Thamūd.
Brief commentary
It was as if they had never lived in their land in comfort and ease. Certainly, Thamūd disbelieved in Allah, their Lord, and so they remain outcasts from His mercy.
