Grammar Rules

Past tense verb
كَذَّبُوا۟ (They denied) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Verb form II — intensified
كَذَّبُوا۟ (They denied) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".

Sahih International

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
