English - Chapter 32 - As-Sajdah

Alif Laam Miim

The sending down of the book, in which there is nothing doubtful, (is) from the Lord of the worlds

Or do they say, “He has forged it?” No, it is the truth from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, they that may receive guidance

It is God 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

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

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

Who made good everything which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay

then made His progeny from something (sperm and egg) taken out from the fluid (which is) weakened after vigour

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

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 Lord

Say, “The angel of death, who is entrusted with you, will take you back (cause you to die), then to your Lord you will be returned.”

And if you (could only) see, when the criminals would bow down their heads before their Lord (pleading), “Our Lord! we have seen and heard, so send us back we will do righteous work, (now) we are certain.”

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

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

Only those believe in Our signs who, when they are reminded through them, fall down prostrate and glorify by praising their Lord and they do not consider themselves great

Their sides keep away from their beds, they pray to their Lord in fear and in hope and they spend from that which We have provided them

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

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

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.”

And We will definitely make them taste (something) from a nearer punishment besides the greater punishment, that they may return

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded through the signs of his Lord, then he turns away from them? We will definitely inflict retribution on the criminals

And We indeed gave the book to Moses, so do not be in doubt about his receiving it, and We made it a guide for the children of Israel

And when they were patient and they had certainty in Our signs, We made from among them leaders who guided by Our command

Your Lord will certainly decide between them on the day of resurrection, concerning that wherein they used to differ

I s 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

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

And they say, “When will this judgment be if you are truthful?”

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).”

So keep away from them and wait, they (too) are certainly waiting
