Word by word

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

فاستمَرُّوا على تكذيبه، فأصابهم الحر الشديد، وصاروا يبحثون عن ملاذ يستظلون به، فأظلتهم سحابة، وجدوا لها بردًا ونسيمًا، فلما اجتمعوا تحتها، التهبت عليهم نارًا فأحرقتهم، فكان هلاكهم جميعًا في يوم شديد الهول.
