what were you asking
unaniuliza nini

yesterday where were you?
jana ulikuwa wapi?

so how were my punishment and warnings?

or were you present when allah enjoined this commandment upon you?'
au, nyinyi mlikuwapo mwenyezi mungu alipo kuusieni haya?

and were you to die or be slain, it is to allah that you will all be mustered.
