2
بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ bal `ajibū an jā-ahum mundhirun minhum faqālal-kāfirūna hādhā shay-un `ajīb Indeed they consider it odd that a warner from among themselves should have come to them. So the faithless say, ‘This is an odd thing.’

6
أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجٍ afalam yanẓurū ilas samā-i fawqahum kayfa banaynāhā wazayyannāhā wa mā lahā min furūj Have they not, then, observed the heaven above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and that there are no cracks in it?
7
وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَـٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍۭ بَهِيجٍ wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa-alqaynā fīhā rawāsiya wa-anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjin bahīj And We spread out the earth, and cast in it firm mountains, and caused every delightful kind [of vegetation] to grow in it.

11
رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخُرُوجُ rizqal lil`ibād ۖ wa-aḥyaynā bihi baldatan maytā ۚ kadhālikal khurūj as a provision for Our servants, and with it We revive a dead country. Likewise will be the rising [from the dead].
