بَل عَجِبوا أَن جاءَهُم مُنذِرٌ مِنهُم فَقالَ الكافِرونَ هـٰذا شَيءٌ عَجيبٌ
They marvel that a warner has emerged from their midst. The unbelievers exclaim, “This is a strange thing.
أَإِذا مِتنا وَكُنّا تُرابًا ۖ ذٰلِكَ رَجعٌ بَعيدٌ
When we have died and become dust? That is a far return.”
قَد عَلِمنا ما تَنقُصُ الأَرضُ مِنهُم ۖ وَعِندَنا كِتابٌ حَفيظٌ
We know what the earth diminishes from them, and we have a preserving Book.
بَل كَذَّبوا بِالحَقِّ لَمّا جاءَهُم فَهُم في أَمرٍ مَريجٍ
They’ve denied the truth when it came to them; thus, they are in a state of confusion.
أَفَلَم يَنظُروا إِلَى السَّماءِ فَوقَهُم كَيفَ بَنَيناها وَزَيَّنّاها وَما لَها مِن فُروجٍ
Didn’t they observe the sky above them—how We constructed it, decorated it, and it has no cracks?
وَالأَرضَ مَدَدناها وَأَلقَينا فيها رَواسِيَ وَأَنبَتنا فيها مِن كُلِّ زَوجٍ بَهيجٍ
And the Earth—we expanded it, and placed upon it firm mountains, and made everything on it grow in a balanced way.
