English - Chapter 32 - As-Sajdah

Alif Lam Mim

Revelation of this Book is, no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds

Do they say He (Prophet Muhammad) has forged it? Nay! It is the Truth from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you. They may thereby walk the Right Path

Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and what is in between them in six periods of time. He then ascended the Throne of Power. You have no wali or intercessor besides Him! Will you not then take heed

He (Allah) directs the Divine Command from the heavens to the earth. Then it will come up to Him on a Day the measure of which is a thousand years as you count

That One is the Knower of the unseen and the seen. That One is the Omnipotent, the Merciful

Who perfected everything He created, and He created the first man from dust

Then He generated his progeny of an extract (sperms) from a despised liquid (semen)

Then He gave it shape and breathed into it some of His spirit. And He made ears, eyes, and minds for you. You thank but little

And they say, "When we are lost in the earth, shall we then be there in a new creation?" Nay! They believe not in meeting their Lord

Say, "The angel of death, who is given charge of you, will cause you to die. Then to your Lord you will be returned

And could you but see the guilty when they hang down their heads before their Lord! "Our Lord! We have seen and heard enough. Now send us back! We will do righteous deeds. We now do certainly believe

And had We so willed, We could have given every soul its guidance. But (as Allah declares,) "The word from Me is bound to come true that I will certainly fill Hell with the jinn and the humans together

So taste the consequence: because you were oblivious of your appointment for this Day, We are indeed oblivious of you now! And taste the eternal punishment for what you did

They — only they — believe in Our messages who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate and glorify their Lord with His praise, and they are not proud

They keep themselves out of their beds, praying to their Lord in fear and in hope. And they spend out of what We have given them

And no person knows what is kept hidden for them, of delights of the eyes, as reward for what they did

And for those who believe and do good deeds, there are Gardens to live in — a hospitable resort for what they did

And for those who transgress, the Fire is their abode! Whenever they try to get out from it, they are taken back into it. And it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you disbelieved in

And certainly We will make them taste the lower punishment before the great one so that they may turn (to the Right Path)

And who can be more unjust than he who is reminded of the Verses/signs of his Lord, but then turns away from them!? We do exact retribution from the offenders

And We did indeed give Moses the Book — doubt not then the meeting with Him — and We made it a guide for the Children of Israel

And We made, from among them, leaders to guide them with patience by Our command. And they were certain in their belief of Our Verses/signs

Your Lord it is, indeed, Who will judge amongst them, on the Day of Resurrection, on matters they differed in

How many a generation — in whose erstwhile dwelling places they now move about — have We destroyed before them? Does not this fact give guidance to them? Indeed there are signs in this. Do they not then hear (about those generations)

Do they not see that We drive the water to the barren land, then bring out thereby an agricultural produce of which their cattle and they themselves eat? Do they not then understand what they see

And they say, "When will this Inauguration (of the Hereafter) come, if what you say is true

Say, "On the Day of the Inauguration, belief of those who (now) disbelieve will not profit them, nor will they be given any respite

So leave them alone and wait! They too are indeed waiting
