English - Chapter 32 - As-Sajdah

Alif. Lam Mim

Revelation of this Book, whereof there is no doubt, is from the Lord of the Worlds

Will they say: he hath fabricated it? Aye! it is the truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest warn therewith a people unto whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may be guided

Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is betwixt the twain in six days, and then He established Himself on the throne. No patron have ye nor an intercessor, besides Him. Will ye not then be admonished

He disposeth every affair from the heaven unto the earth; thereafter it shall ascend unto Him in a Day the measure whereof is one thousand years of that which ye compute

Such is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty, the Merciful

Who hath made everything exceeding good which He hath created. And He originated the creation of man from clay

Then He made his progeny from an extract of water base

Then He fashioned him and breathed into him something of a spirit from Him; and He ordained for you hearing and sight and hearts. Little is the thanks ye return

And they say: when we are vanished in the earth, shall we then be raised in a new creation? Aye! in the meeting with their Lord they are disbelieving

Say thou: the angel of death who is set over you shall cause you to die, thereafter unto your Lord ye shall be returned

Couldst thou but see when the culprits shall hang their heads before their Lord, saying: our Lord! we have now seen and heard; so send us back; we shall work righteously, verily we are convinced

And had We listed surely We could have given every soul its guidance; but true must be the word from Me; I shall surely fill Hell with the Jinn and mankind together

So taste ye the sequel, for as much as ye forgat the meeting of this your day, verily We have forgotten you. Taste the torment abiding for that which ye have been working

They alone believe in Our revelations who, when they are reminded thereof, fall down prostrate and hallow the praise of their Lord, and they are not stiff-necked

No soul knoweth that which is kept hidden for them of perfect comfort as a recompense for that which they have been working

Shall he, therefore, who is a believer, be like unto him who is a transgressor? They are not equal

And as for those who believe and work rigteous works--for them are Gardens of Abode: an entertainment for that which they have been working

And as for those who transgress their abode is the Fire. So oft as they desire to get thereout, they shall be sent back thereto; and it will be said unto them: taste the torment of the Fire which ye were wont to belie

And surely We shall make them taste of the smaller torment prior to the greater torment, that haply they may yet return

And who is a greater wrong-doer than he who is reminded of His signs, then he turneth aside therefrom? Verily unto the culprits We are going to be Avenger

Assuredly We vouchsafed the Book Unto Musa; so be thou not in doubt in thy receiving it. And We appointed it to be a guidance unto the Children of Is'rail

And We appointed, from amongst them, leaders guiding others by Our command, when they had persevered, and of Our signs they were convinced

Verily thy Lord! He shall decide between them on the Day of Judgment concerning that wherein they have been differing

Hath this not guided them: how many generations We have destroyed before them amidst whose dwellings they walk? Verily therein are signs; will they not therefore hearken

Observe they not that We drive water unto a land bare, and bring forth therewith crops whereof their cattle and they themselves eat? Will they not therefore be enlightened

And they say: When will this Decision arrive if ye are truthtellers

Say thou: on the day of the Decision their belief will not profit those who have disbelieved; nor will they be respited

Wherefore turn aside thou from them, and await; verily they are awaiting
