32. THE PROSTRATION ( Al – Sajda ) |
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
2. The sending down of the book, in which there is nothing doubtful, (is) from the Fosterer of the worlds. |
3. Or do they say, “He has forged it?” No, it is the truth from your Fosterer that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, they that may receive guidance. |
4.
It is Allah Who created the skies and the earth and that which is between
them both, in six periods, then He set the balance on the throne (of
the universe). You do not have besides Him any guardian nor do you have
a mediator. Then, will you not be mindful? |
5.
He governs the affair from the sky to the earth, then it will ascend
to Him in a day, the measure of which is a thousand years of that which
you count. |
6.
That is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty, the Merciful, |
7.
Who made good everything which He created, and He began the creation
of man from clay, |
8.
then made His progeny from something (sperm and egg) taken out from
the fluid (which is) weakened after vigour {1}, |
9.
then He set him in equilibrium and breathed into him from His spirit
and made for you the (sources of) hearing and seeing and the hearts,
little is the gratitude you show. |
10.
And they say, “What! when we are lost in the earth, will we then be
in a new creation?” No, they do not believe in (their) meeting with
their Fosterer. |
11.
Say, “The angel of death, who is entrusted with you, will take you back
(cause you to die), then to your Fosterer you will be returned.” (R
1) |
12.
And if you (could only) see, when the criminals would bow down their
heads before their Fosterer (pleading), “Our Fosterer! we have seen
and heard, so send us back we will do righteous work, (now) we are certain.” |
13.
And had We willed We could have guided every soul, but the word from
Me that, “I will fill hell with the jinn and human beings together,”
will be (proved) true. |
14.
So taste (the punishment), because you forgot the meeting of this day
of yours We (too) will forget you. And taste the everlasting punishment
because of that which you used to do. |
15.
Only those believe in Our signs who, when they are reminded through
them, fall down prostrate and glorify by praising their Fosterer and
they do not consider themselves great. |
16.
Their sides keep away from their beds, they pray to their Fosterer in
fear and in hope and they spend from that which We have provided them. |
17.
So no soul knows what is hidden from it, of (that which) comforts the
eye, (as a) reward for that which they used to do. |
18.
Then, is he who is a believer, like him who is a transgressor? They
are not equal. |
19.
As for those who believe and do righteous works, for them are gardens
as (their) settling place, a gift for what they used to do. |
20.
And as for those who transgress, their settling place is the fire, whenever
they will intend to come out of it, they will be returned into it and
it will be said to them, “Taste the punishment of the fire which you
used to deny.” |
21.
And We will definitely make them taste (something) from a nearer punishment
besides the greater punishment, that they may return. |
22.
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded through the signs of
his Fosterer, then he turns away from them? We will definitely inflict
retribution on the criminals. (R 2) |
23.
And We indeed gave the book to Musa, so do not be in doubt about his
receiving it, and We made it a guide for the children of Israel. |
24.
And when they were patient and they had certainty in Our signs, We made
from among them leaders who guided by Our command. |
25.
Your Fosterer will certainly decide between them on the day of resurrection,
concerning that wherein they used to differ. |
26.
Is it not (enough) for their guidance: How many of the generations before
them did We destroy, in whose dwelling places they walk? Certainly there
are signs in that. Will they not then hear? |
27.
Did they not see that We drive the water to the barren earth, then We
bring out vegetation from it, from which their cattle and they themselves
eat, will they not then see? (P 20 ¾) |
28.
And they say, “When will this judgment be if you are truthful?” |
29.
Say, “On the day of judgment, the believing of those who had not believed
(earlier) will not benefit them, and they will not be given time (for
amendment).” |
30.
So keep away from them and wait, they (too) are certainly waiting. (R
3) |
