When evening fell on the day that had been opened to them, the people kindled many fires.
أَوْقَدُوا — they kindled. A finished-action verb carrying its subject inside it: the -u ending fixes the doers as 'they', the people, so no separate pronoun is needed. The built-in plural subject is the key fact, reporting what they did at nightfall.
