Awalam yanthuroo fee malakooti alssamawati waalardi wama khalaqa Allahu min shayin waan AAasa an yakoona qadi iqtaraba ajaluhum fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
Have they not observe in the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what Allah created of thing and that perhaps the end of their time is actually becoming near?! So by what saying after Him do they feel safe/ trust?!
The aya is asking us as people to contemplate all the above and then it asks us rhetorically that after all this do we trust a statement from other than Allah that contradicts what He says.
This of course does not cover statements by other than Allah that do not contradict what Allah says because those statements fall in line with Allah’s statements and follow their general guidelines and directions.
Awalam: have they not? did they not
Note: it is a question in the negative form.
Yanthuroo: watch/ observe/ see
Note: YANTHUROO is derived from the root N-THa-R and it means seeing/observing/watching with one side of the meaning stronger than the others according to the situation.

Alssamawati: the aboves / the heavens/ the beyond the earth
Note: the root is S-M-W and it means rising. This word is used to mean many things that are related to that meaning.

ALSSAMAWATI are the aboves or what are above, that is the skies or the heavens or any entity from the atmosphere to beyond that.
waalardi: and the earth
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA is often translated as an addition (and), but inclusion probably covers the meaning a little better. ALARDI is derived from the root Hamza-R-Dhad and it means earth or land. ALARDI is the earth/ the land.
Wama: and what/ including what
Khalaqa: He created
Note: the root is KH-L-Qaf and it means creating and creation. The word has many little other meanings that revolve around that theme, in concrete, it means the smoothened rock that was shaped that way, so it has the cutting and shaping and making things as part of the meaning as well as creating out of nothing as well. KHALAQA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of creating or shaping happened by the subject (third person singular).

Hadeethin: talk/ saying/ discussion

They carry the meanings of happenings as news, or sayings or new developments or all, as long as the context of the sentence allows it. HADEETHIN here carries the conceptual meanings of happening, which covers sayings and talk and discussion.
baAAdahu: after it
