فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسۡتَكۡبَرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ الۡحَقِّ وَقَالُوۡا مَنۡ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ؕ اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَهُمۡ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةً ؕ وَكَانُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُوۡنَ
Faamma AAadun fastakbaroofee al-ardi bighayri alhaqqi waqaloo manashaddu minna quwwatan awa lam yaraw anna Allahaallathee khalaqahum huwa ashaddu minhum quwwatan wakanoobi-ayatina yajhadoon
