The Prostration

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[32:1]

Alif. Lam. Mim

[32:2]

The revelation of the Scripture whereof there is no doubt is from the Lord of the Worlds.

[32:3]

Or say they: He hath invented it ? Nay, but it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayst warn a folk to whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may walk aright.

[32:4]

Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have not, beside Him, a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then remember ?

[32:5]

He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day, whereof the measure is a thousand years of that ye reckon.

[32:6]

Such is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Mighty, the Merciful,

[32:7]

Who made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay;

[32:8]

Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid;

[32:9]

Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!

[32:10]

And they say: When we are lost in the earth, how can we then be re- created ? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.

[32:11]

Say: The angel of death, who hath charge concerning you, will gather you, and afterward unto your Lord ye will be returned.
