As-Sajda
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Alif. Lam. Mim (1)
The revelation of the Scripture
whereof there is no doubt is from the Lord of the
Worlds. (2)
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. (3)
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? (4)
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. (5)
Such is the Knower of the Invisible
and the Visible, the Mighty, the Merciful, (6)
Who made all things good which He
created, and He began the creation of man from clay; (7)
Then He made his seed from a draught
of despised fluid; (8)
Then He fashioned him and breathed
into him of His Spirit; and appointed for you hearing
and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye! (9)
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. (10)
Say: The angel of death, who hath
charge concerning you, will gather you, and afterward
unto your Lord ye will be returned. (11)
Couldst thou but see when the guilty
hang their heads before their Lord, (and say): Our Lord!
We have now seen and heard, so send us back; we will do
right, now we are sure. (12)
And if We had so willed, We could
have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me
concerning evildoers took effect: that I will fill hell
with the jinn and mankind together. (13)
So taste (the evil of your deeds).
Forasmuch as ye forgot the meeting of this your Day, lo!
We forget you. Taste the doom of immortality because of
what ye used to do. (14)
Only those believe in Our revelations
who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate
and hymn the praise of their Lord, and they are not
scornful, (15)
Who forsake their beds to cry unto
their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of that We have
bestowed on them. (16)
No soul knoweth what is kept hid for
them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do. (17)
Is he who is a believer like unto him
who is an evil-liver? They are not alike. (18)
But as for those who believe and do
good works, for them are the Gardens of Retreat - a
welcome (in reward) for what they used to do. (19)
And as for those who do evil, their
retreat is the Fire. Whenever they desire to issue forth
from thence, they are brought back thither. Unto them it
is said: Taste the torment of the Fire which ye used to
deny. (20)
And verily We make them taste the
lower punishment before the greater, that haply they may
return. (21)
And who doth greater wrong than he
who is reminded of the revelations of his Lord, then
turneth from them. Lo! We shall requite the guilty. (22)
We verily gave Moses the Scripture;
so be not ye in doubt of his receiving it; and We
appointed it a guidance for the Children of Israel. (23)
And when they became steadfast and
believed firmly in Our revelations, We appointed from
among them leaders who guided by Our command. (24)
Lo! thy Lord will judge between them
on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they
used to differ. (25)
Is it not a guidance for them (to
observe) how many generations We destroyed before them,
amid whose dwelling places they do walk? Lo! therein
verily are portents! Will they not then heed? (26)
Have they not seen how We lead the
water to the barren land and therewith bring forth crops
whereof their cattle eat, and they themselves? Will they
not then see? (27)
And they say: When cometh this
victory (of yours) if ye are truthful? (28)
Say (unto them): On the day of the
victory the faith of those who disbelieve (and who then
will believe) will not avail them, neither will they be
reprieved. (29)
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad),
and await (the event). Lo! they (also) are awaiting (it).
