English - Chapter 32 - As-Sajdah

M

Do they say, 'He has forged it?' Nay! it is the truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest warn a people, to whom no warner has come before thee, haply they may be guided

God it is who created the heavens and the earth and what is between the two in six days; then He made for the throne! ye have no patron beside Him and no intercessor; are ye not then mindful

He governs the affair from the heaven unto the earth; then shall it ascend to him in a day, the measure of which is as a thousand years of what ye number

That is He who knows the unseen and the visible; the mighty, the merciful

who has made the best of the creation of everything, and produced the creation of man from clay

then He made his stock from an extract of despicable water

then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His spirit, and made for you hearing and eyesight and hearts;- little is it that ye give thanks

And they say, 'When we are lost in the earth, shall we then become a new creation?' Nay! in the meeting of their Lord they disbelieve

Say, 'The angel of death shall take you away, he who is given charge of you; then unto your Lord shall ye be returned

And couldst thou see when the sinners hang down their heads before their Lord, 'O Lord! we have seen and we have heard; send us back then and we will do right. Verily, we are sure

Had we pleased we would have given to everything its guidance; but the sentence was due from me;-I will surely fill hell with the ginns and with men all together

So taste ye, for that ye forgat the meeting of this day of yours,- verily, we have forgotten you! and taste ye the torment of eternity for that which ye have done

They only believe in our signs who when they are reminded of them fall down adoring and celebrate the praises of their Lord, and are not too big with pride

As their sides forsake their beds, they call upon their Lord with fear and hope; and of what we have bestowed upon them do they give alms

No soul knows what is reserved for them of cheerfulness for eye, as a reward for that which they have done

Is he who is a believer like him who is a sinner? they shall not be held equal

As for those who believe and do right, for them are the gardens of resort, an entertainment for that which they have done

But as for those who commit abomination their resort is the Fire. Every time that they desire to go forth therefrom, we will send them back therein, and it will be said to them, 'Taste ye the torment of the fire which ye did call a lie

and we will surely make them taste of the torment of the nearer torment beside the greater torment, - haply they may yet return

Who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the signs of his Lord, and then turns away from them? Verily, we will take vengeance on the sinners

And we did give Moses the Book; be not then in doubt concerning the meeting with him; and we made it a guidance to the children of Israel

And we made amongst them high priests who guided by our bidding, since they were patient and were sure of our signs

Verily, thy Lord, he shall decide between them on the resurrection day concerning that whereon they do dispute

Is it not conspicuous to them how many generations we have destroyed before them? they walk over their dwellings! verily, in that are signs: do they not then hear

Have they not seen that we drive the water to the sterile land, and bring forth thereby corn from which their cattle and themselves do eat? do they not then see

And they say, 'When shall this decision come if ye do tell the truth

Say, 'On the day of the decision their faith shall not profit those who misbelieved, nor shall they be respited

turn then from them and wait; verily, they are waiting too
