سورة السجدة

32. Surah As-Sajdah
The Prostration

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

alif lām mīm

الٓـمٓ۠

Alif-lam-meem

The revelation of the Writ about which there is no doubt, from the Lord of All Creation.

تَنْز۪يلُ الْكِتَابِ لَا رَيْبَ ف۪يهِ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَۜ

Tanzeelu alkitabi la raybafeehi min rabbi alAAalameen

If they say: “He has invented it,” the truth is: it is the truth from thy Lord, that thou warn a people to whom no warner came before thee, that they might be guided.

اَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرٰيهُۚ بَلْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْماً مَٓا اَتٰيهُمْ مِنْ نَذ۪يرٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ

Am yaqooloona iftarahu bal huwa alhaqqumin rabbika litunthira qawman ma atahum minnatheerin min qablika laAAallahum yahtadoon

God is He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, then established Himself upon the Throne. You have not, besides Him, any ally or intercessor. Will you then not take heed!

اَللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ي خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ف۪ي سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۜ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِه۪ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا شَف۪يعٍۜ اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Allahu allathee khalaqa assamawatiwal-arda wama baynahuma fee sittatiayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi malakum min doonihi min waliyyin wala shafeeAAin afalatatathakkaroon

He directs the matter from the heaven to the earth; then it rises to Him in a day the measure whereof is a thousand years of what you count.

يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ اِلَيْهِ ف۪ي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُٓ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

Yudabbiru al-amra mina assama-iila al-ardi thumma yaAAruju ilayhi fee yawmin kanamiqdaruhu alfa sanatin mimma taAAuddoon

That is the Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ذٰلِكَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَز۪يزُ الرَّح۪يمُۙ

Thalika AAalimu alghaybi washshahadatialAAazeezu arraheem

Who made good everything He created, and began the creation of man from clay;

اَلَّـذ۪ٓي اَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَاَ خَلْقَ الْاِنْسَانِ مِنْ ط۪ينٍۚ

Allathee ahsana kulla shay-inkhalaqahu wabadaa khalqa al-insani min teen

Then He made his progeny of an extraction of despised water;

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ مَٓاءٍ مَه۪ينٍۚ

Thumma jaAAala naslahu min sulalatinmin ma-in maheen

Then He fashioned him, and breathed into him of His Spirit; and He made for you hearing and sight and hearts; little are you grateful.

ثُمَّ سَوّٰيهُ وَنَفَخَ ف۪يهِ مِنْ رُوحِه۪ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٔدَةَۜ قَل۪يلاً مَا تَشْكُرُونَ

Thumma sawwahu wanafakha feehi min roohihiwajaAAala lakumu assamAAa wal-absara wal-af-idataqaleelan ma tashkuroon

And they say: “When we are lost in the earth, will we be in a new creation?” The truth is, they are of the meeting with their Lord deniers.

وَقَالُٓوا ءَاِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِي الْاَرْضِ ءَاِنَّا لَف۪ي خَلْقٍ جَد۪يدٍۜ بَلْ هُمْ بِلِقَٓاءِ رَبِّهِمْ كَافِرُونَ

Waqaloo a-itha dalalnafee al-ardi a-inna lafee khalqin jadeedin bal humbiliqa-i rabbihim kafiroon

Say thou: “There will take you the angel of death who has been given charge of you; then to your Lord will you be returned.”

قُلْ يَتَوَفّٰيكُمْ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذ۪ي وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ۟

Qul yatawaffakum malaku almawti allatheewukkila bikum thumma ila rabbikum turjaAAoon

And if thou couldst see when the lawbreakers will hang their heads before their Lord: “Our Lord: we have seen and heard, so send Thou us back. We will work righteousness! We are those who are certain!”

وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذِ الْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُوا رُؤُ۫سِهِمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۜ رَبَّـنَٓا اَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَـالِحاً اِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ

Walaw tara ithi almujrimoona nakisooruoosihim AAinda rabbihim rabbana absarnawasamiAAna faarjiAAna naAAmal salihaninna mooqinoon

And had We willed, We could have given every soul its guidance. But the word from Me is binding: “I will fill Gehenna with the jinna and mankind all together!”

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَاٰتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدٰيهَا وَلٰكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنّ۪ي لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَع۪ينَ

Walaw shi-na laataynakulla nafsin hudaha walakin haqqaalqawlu minnee laamlaanna jahannama mina aljinnati wannasiajmaAAeen

“So taste! Because you forgot the meeting of this your day, We have forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity because of what you did!”

فَذُوقُوا بِمَا نَس۪يتُمْ لِقَٓاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاۚ اِنَّا نَس۪ينَاكُمْ وَذُوقُوا عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Fathooqoo bima naseetum liqaayawmikum hatha inna naseenakum wathooqooAAathaba alkhuldi bima kuntum taAAmaloon

Only those believe in Our proofs who, when they are reminded thereof, fall down in submission; and they give glory with the praise of their Lord, and they wax not proud.

اِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاٰيَاتِنَا الَّذ۪ينَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهَا خَرُّوا سُجَّداً وَسَبَّحُوا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Innama yu/minu bi-ayatinaallatheena itha thukkiroo bihakharroo sujjadan wasabbahoo bihamdi rabbihim wahumla yastakbiroon

Their sides forsake their beds; they call to their Lord in fear and hope, and of what We have provided them they spend.

تَتَجَافٰى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاًۘ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ

Tatajafa junoobuhum AAani almadajiAAiyadAAoona rabbahum khawfan watamaAAan wamimmarazaqnahum yunfiqoon

And no soul knows what has been hidden for them as a comfort of the eyes as reward for what they did.

فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَٓا اُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ اَعْيُنٍۚ جَزَٓاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Fala taAAlamu nafsun maokhfiya lahum min qurrati aAAyunin jazaan bima kanooyaAAmaloon

Is then he who is a believer like him who is perfidious? They are not equal.

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقاًۜ لَا يَسْتَوُ۫نَ

Afaman kana mu/minan kaman kanafasiqan la yastawoon

As for those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: for them are the Gardens of Shelter as a welcome for what they did.

اَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْمَأْوٰىۘ نُزُلاً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Amma allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati falahum jannatualma/wa nuzulan bima kanoo yaAAmaloon

And as for those who are perfidious: their shelter is the Fire. As often as they desire to come out therefrom, they are brought back into it; and it is said to them: “Taste the punishment of the Fire which you denied!”

وَاَمَّا الَّذ۪ينَ فَسَقُوا فَمَأْوٰيهُمُ النَّارُۜ كُلَّمَٓا اَرَادُٓوا اَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَٓا اُع۪يدُوا ف۪يهَا وَق۪يلَ لَهُمْ ذُوقُوا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّذ۪ي كُنْتُمْ بِه۪ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Waamma allatheena fasaqoofama/wahumu annaru kullama aradooan yakhrujoo minha oAAeedoo feeha waqeela lahum thooqooAAathaba annari allathee kuntum bihitukaththiboon

And We will let them taste of the lower punishment before the greater, that they might return.

وَلَنُذ۪يقَنَّهُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَدْنٰى دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

Walanutheeqannahum mina alAAathabial-adna doona alAAathabi al-akbari laAAallahumyarjiAAoon

And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the proofs of his Lord, then turns away therefrom? We will take vengeance on the lawbreakers.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰيَاتِ رَبِّه۪ ثُمَّ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهَاۜ اِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِم۪ينَ مُنْتَقِمُونَ۟

Waman athlamu mimman thukkirabi-ayati rabbihi thumma aAArada AAanhainna mina almujrimeena muntaqimoon

And We gave Moses the Writ, — so be thou not in doubt about his meeting — and We appointed it as guidance for the children of Israel.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ فَلَا تَكُنْ ف۪ي مِرْيَةٍ مِنْ لِقَٓائِه۪ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ هُدًى لِبَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَۚ

Walaqad atayna moosaalkitaba fala takun fee miryatin min liqa-ihiwajaAAalnahu hudan libanee isra-eel

And We appointed among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and of Our proofs were certain.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ اَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِاَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُواۜ وَكَانُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ

WajaAAalna minhum a-immatan yahdoonabi-amrina lamma sabaroo wakanoo bi-ayatinayooqinoon

Thy Lord will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ف۪يمَا كَانُوا ف۪يهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

Inna rabbaka huwa yafsilu baynahumyawma alqiyamati feema kanoo feehiyakhtalifoon

Does it not guide them, how many generations We destroyed before them among whose dwellings they walk? In that are proofs. Will they then not hear!

اَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ ف۪ي مَسَاكِنِهِمْۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍۜ اَفَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ

Awa lam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna minqablihim mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna feethalika laayatin afala yasmaAAoon

Have they not considered that We drive the water to the barren land, and bring forth therewith crops whereof their cattle and they themselves eat? Will they then not see!

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا نَسُوقُ الْمَٓاءَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِه۪ زَرْعاً تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ اَنْعَامُهُمْ وَاَنْفُسُهُمْۜ اَفَلَا يُبْصِرُونَ

Awa lam yaraw anna nasooqu almaaila al-ardi aljuruzi fanukhriju bihi zarAAanta-kulu minhu anAAamuhum waanfusuhum afala yubsiroon

And they say: “When is this decision, if you be truthful?”

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْفَتْحُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ

Wayaqooloona mata hatha alfathuin kuntum sadiqeen

Say thou: “On the Day of Decision, the faith of those who ignore warning will not benefit them, nor will they be granted respite.”

قُلْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا يَنْفَعُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُٓوا ا۪يمَانُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُونَ

Qul yawma alfathi la yanfaAAuallatheena kafaroo eemanuhum wala hum yuntharoon

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

فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَانْتَظِرْ اِنَّهُمْ مُنْتَظِرُونَ

FaaAArid AAanhum wantathirinnahum muntathiroon
