Indefinite noun
أَمْوَٰتٌ ((They are) dead) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.
We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.
Sahih International
They are [in fact] dead, not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.
