Yes we talked about the the al and such and I'm fine with that and we talked about the verses but we didn't talk about what makes the verses in past tense what I mean is how does the arabic make it sound like in the past like altheana jabbu al sakrah bilwadi I apologise for the arabic but how do these arabic words make it be in the past because when we read the arabic it sounds like the preasent please again forgive me I just need a clarifaction jazzakkallah

And also what are the rocks in this verse is it normal bolders or mountains
