32 The Prostration -As-Sajda
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[32.1] AlifLaamMeem.
[32.2] The sending down of the Book in which there is no
doubt that is from the Lord of the Worlds.
[32.3] Or do they say: 'He has forged it himself? ' Say:
'No, it is the truth from your Lord so that you can warn a nation to whom none
has warned before you, in order that they are guided.
[32.4] It was Allah, who, in six days created the
heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and then willed to the
Throne. You have no guardian nor intercessor other than Him. Will you not
remember?
[32.5] He directs the affair from heaven to earth. Then
it will ascend to Him in one day, a day whose value is a thousand years by your
reckoning.
[32.6] He is the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible,
the Almighty, the Most Merciful,
[32.7] who perfected everything He created. He
originated the creation of the human from clay,
[32.8] then He made his offspring from a clot of weak
water (semen).
[32.9] Then He created him and (caused the angel to)
breathe into him his (created) spirit. He gave you eyes and ears, and hearts,
yet little do you thank.
[32.10] They say: 'What, when we have been destroyed in
the earth, shall we indeed be in a new creation? ' Indeed, they disbelieve that
they will meet their Lord.
[32.11] Say: 'The Angel of Death, who has been given
charge of you will gather you then to your Lord you shall be returned. '
[32.12] Would that you could see the wrongdoers when
they lower their heads before their Lord! They will say: 'Our Lord, we have now
seen and heard. Send us back and we will do righteous deeds, we are certain. '
[32.13] Had We Willed, We would have guided every soul.
But My Word shall be realized, 'I will fill Gehenna (Hell) with jinn and people
all together. '
[32.14] (We shall say to them): 'Now taste, for you
forgot the encounter of this Day, We have forgotten you. Taste Our eternal
punishment, for that which you were doing. '
[32.15] Only those who believe in Our verses, when
reminded of them, prostrate themselves and exalt with the praise of their Lord
in humility;
[32.16] whose sides forsake their couches as they
supplicate to their Lord in fear and hope; who give in charity of that which We
have given them.
[32.17] No soul knows what pleases the eye is in store
for them as a recompense for what they used to do.
[32.18] Can he, then, who is a believer, be compared to
he who is wicked? They are not equal.
[32.19] As for those who believe and do good works,
there are for them the Gardens of Refuge, in hospitality for that which they
have done.
[32.20] But those who do evil their refuge is the Fire.
As often as they desire to come out of it they shall be driven back, and it
will be said to them: 'Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you have belied.
'
[32.21] But We will let them taste the nearest punishment
(in this life) before the greater punishment, so that they may return (to
faith).
[32.22] And who is more wicked than he who, when
reminded of the verses of his Lord turns away from them? We take revenge on the
sinners.
[32.23] We have given the Book to Moses, so (Prophet
Muhammad) do not be in doubt concerning the meeting with him (Prophet Moses)
and made it a guidance to the Children of
[32.24] When they were patient, We made from them
leaders, guiding with Our Command and they were certain of Our verses.
[32.25] On the Day of Resurrection your Lord will
distinguish between them that on which they varied.
[32.26] Is it not a guidance to them, how many
generations We destroyed before them in whose dwelling places they walk?
Surely, in this there are signs. Will they not then hear!
[32.27] Do they not see how We drive the water to the
parched lands and bring forth therefrom crops from which their cattle and
themselves eat? Will they not see!
[32.28] They also ask: 'When will this Opening come, if
what you say is true? '
[32.29] Say: 'On the Day of Opening the faith of the
unbelievers will not benefit them, nor shall they be respited. '
[32.30] Therefore turn away from them, and wait, they are
waiting.
