32. Surah As-Sajdah

Alif, Lām, Meem.1

— Saheeh International

[This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.

— Saheeh International

Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muḥammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.

— Saheeh International

It is Allāh who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne.1 You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

— Saheeh International

He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.

— Saheeh International

That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

— Saheeh International

Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.

— Saheeh International

Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

— Saheeh International

Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul1 and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

— Saheeh International

And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

— Saheeh International

Say, "The angel of death who has been entrusted with you will take you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

— Saheeh International

If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."

— Saheeh International

And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word1 from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

— Saheeh International

So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."

— Saheeh International

Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.

— Saheeh International

Their sides part [i.e., they arise] from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.1

— Saheeh International

And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes [i.e., satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.

— Saheeh International

Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.

— Saheeh International

As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them will be the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do.

— Saheeh International

But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."

— Saheeh International

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment1 short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].

— Saheeh International

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord; then he turns away from them? Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.

— Saheeh International

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture, so do not be in doubt over his meeting.1 And We made it [i.e., the Torah] guidance for the Children of Israel.

— Saheeh International

And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

— Saheeh International

Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, [as] they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs; then do they not hear?

— Saheeh International

Have they not seen that We drive water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?

— Saheeh International

And they say, "When will be this conquest,1 if you should be truthful?"

— Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."

— Saheeh International

So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.
