Qur'an 67:16 Al-Mulk

ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ

Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway?

What it says

The argument turns to threat, and the first threat is the ground. Khasafa is used of the earth taking a thing down out of sight, and mawr is the churning of what had been still, a swell running through something solid. What is being questioned is the safety people take from the floor under them without ever deciding to.

Word by word

ءَأَمِنتُم a-amintum are you safe · مَّن man from him who · فِى fī in · ٱلسَّمَآءِ as-samā'i the heaven · أَن an that · يَخْسِفَ yakhsifa he sink · بِكُمُ bikumu with you · ٱلْأَرْضَ al-arḍa the earth · فَإِذَا fa-idhā and at once · هِىَ hiya it · تَمُورُ tamūr heaves
