وَأُتْبِعُوا۟ And they were followed فِى in هَـٰذِهِ this ٱلدُّنْيَا world لَعْنَةًۭ (with) a curse وَيَوْمَ and (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ (of) the Resurrection أَلَآ No doubt إِنَّ Indeed عَادًۭا Aad كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved رَبَّهُمْ ۗ their Lord أَلَا So بُعْدًۭا away لِّعَادٍۢ with Aad قَوْمِ (the) people هُودٍۢ (of) Hud ٦٠
