English - Chapter 32 - As-Sajdah

L. M

Descent of Al-Kitab, no doubt therein, is from the Nourisher-Sustainer of the worlds

Do they say he has forged it? Nay, it is Al-Haqq from your Nourisher-Sustainer, in order that you may warn a nation to whom no warner has come before you, so that they may receive guidance

Allah is That Who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between those two in six aeons; then He set (Himself) over the Throne. There is not for you, besides Him, out of a wali, and neither a shafee (intercessor). Will you then not remind (yourself and remind others)

He will plan the (Divine) Ordinance from the heaven unto the earth, then it shall ascend to Him in an eon — the duration of which became a thousand years according to what you compute

This is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the All-Mighty, the continuously Merciful —

Who has made perfect everything He has created. And He initiated the creation of man from clay

Then He made his offspring from an admixture of an insignificant, despicable fluid

Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit. And He made for you the hearing and the eyes and the hearts. Very little it is what you pay as thanks

And they said: “Whether when we are lost in the earth (after death and disintegration), shall we indeed be in a new creation?” Nay, they, regarding the meeting with their Nourisher-Sustainer are disbelievers

Say: “The angel of death, who is set over you, will complete your life-span (and thus cause you to die); then to your Nourisher-Sustainer you shall be brought back.”

And if you see when the Mujrimun are such that hang their heads before their Nourisher-Sustainer (and say): Our Nourisher-Sustainer! We have seen and heard (every thing), so send us back, we shall do righteous deeds (in the world, henceforth). Surely, we are (now) those who have attained certainty (in Faith).”

Then taste you because of your forgetting the meeting of this Day of yours; indeed, We also forgot you (like-wise). And now taste the lasting punishment for what you used to do

Certainly, what (is a fact is that) those Believe in Our Ayaat who, when they were reminded or admonished therewith, behaved as those who are in obedience, and they glorified (Him) with the Praise of their Nourisher-Sustainer, and they do not commit arrogance in pride

Their sides forsake the beds; they invoke their Nourisher-Sustainer in fear and hope; and of the provisions We bestowed unto them — they spend (in accordance with the counselling and advice available in Al-Kitab)

And no nafs knows what joy of the eyes is kept hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do

Is then he who became a Believer like one who turned a Fasiq (disobedient and a deceiver)? They are not equal

As for those who have Believed and did righteous deeds, so for them are Gardens of abode as a welcome for what they used to do

And as for those who committed Fisq, their abode will be the Fire. Every time they wished that they may get away therefrom, they were pushed back therein and it was proclaimed to them: ' Taste you the torment of the Fire which — you used to deny of that

And verily, We will make them taste out of a nearer torment (in this present world) besides the greater torment (in the life to come) in order that they may turn (to the Book of Allah)

And who is more unjust than he who is reminded (and admonished) through the Ayaat of his Nourisher-Sustainer, then he turned aside therefrom? Verily, We are those who take retribution from the criminals

And surely, indeed We delivered Al-Kitab to Musa. So be not in doubt from coming in contact with it. And We have made it a guidance for Bani Israiel

And We have made from among them imams (leaders), they guide under Our Command when they showed patience and used to have certainty (of Belief) regarding Our Ayaat

Verily, your Nourisher-Sustainer: He will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ

Does it not give them a lead, how many of the generations before them We have destroyed? They move about in their (abandoned) dwellings. Surely, in this are indeed signs. Would they not then listen (to the Word of God and submit to it)

Have they not then seen that We drive the (rain-) water to the dried-up barren land? Then therewith We bring forth crops, their cattle and their own persons eat therefrom. Will they not then see

And they say: “When this Al-Fath [ the decision (amongst men on the Day of Accountability will take place)] if you are (of) those who tell the truth?”

Say: “On the Day of Al-Fath, shall not benefit those who disbelieved, their Faith (if they attain it at the eleventh hour when they have seen the proceedings of the Hereafter), and nor they shall be allowed (any) respite.”

So turn aside from them and await; truly they too are those who await
