Word by word

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدْنَـٰهُمْ عَذَابًا فَوْقَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يُفْسِدُونَ

Those who disbelieved and averted [others] from the way of Allāh - We will increase them in punishment over [their] punishment for what corruption they were causing.

الذين جحدوا وحدانية الله ونبوتك -أيها الرسول- وكذَّبوك، ومنعوا غيرهم عن الإيمان بالله ورسوله، زدناهم عذابا على كفرهم وعذابًا على صدِّهم الناس عن اتباع الحق; وهذا بسبب تعمُّدهم الإفساد وإضلال العباد بالكفر والمعصية.
