Grammar Rules

Past tense verb
وَسُيِّرَتِ (And are moved) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Passive voice
وَسُيِّرَتِ (And are moved) is passive — the action is happening to someone, but who is doing it is not mentioned.
We translate it as "is/was [done]" — e.g. "was created", "is known".
Verb form II — intensified
وَسُيِّرَتِ (And are moved) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَسُيِّرَتِ (And are moved) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Sahih International

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
