Grammar Rules
Past tense verb
وَقَالُوا۟ (And they say) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَقَالُوا۟ (And they say) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.
