Past tense verb

فَأَذَاقَهُمُ (So Allah made them) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.

We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.

Verb form IV — causative

فَأَذَاقَهُمُ (So Allah made them) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").

We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".

So Allāh made them taste disgrace in worldly life. But the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
