Surah
Sajdah
|
|
1. |
Alif
Lam Mim.
|
|
2. |
(This
is)
the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt, -- from the
Lord of the Worlds.
|
|
3. |
Or
do they say, "He has forged it"?
Nay,
it
is the Truth from the Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to
whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive
guidance. |
|
4. |
It
is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all between
them, in six Days, and is firmly established on the Throne
(of authority):
ye
have none, besides Him, to protect or intercede
(for you):
will
ye not then receive admonition?
|
|
5. |
He
rules
(all)
affairs from the heavens to the earth: in
the end will
(all affairs)
go
up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be
(as)
a thousand years of your
reckoning.
|
|
6. |
Such
as He, the knower of all things, hidden and open, the Exalted
(in power),
the Merciful;
|
|
7. |
He
Who has made everything which He has created most Good.
He
began the creation of man with
(nothing more than)
clay,
|
|
8. |
And
made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid
despised:
|
|
9. |
But
He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something
of His spirit.
And
He gave you
(the faculties of)
hearing and sight and feeling
(and
understanding):
little thanks do ye give!
|
|
10. |
And
they say:
"What! when we lie, hidden and lost, in the earth, shall we indeed
be in a creation renewed?"
Nay,
they
deny the meeting with their Lord! |
|
11. |
Say:
"The
Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will
(duly)
take
your souls:
then shall ye be brought back to your Lord." |
|
12. |
If
only thou couldst see when the guilty ones will bend low their
heads before their Lord,
(saying:)
"Our
Lord! We
have seen and we have heard: now then send us back
(to the world):
we
will work righteousness: for we do indeed
(now)
believe." |
|
13. |
If
We had so willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its
true guidance: but the Word
from Me will come true. "I
will fill Hell with Jinns and men all together." |
|
14. |
"Taste
ye then -- for ye forgot the meeting of this day of yours, and We
too will forget you --
taste ye the Penalty of Eternity for your
(evil)
deeds!"
|
|
15. |
Only
those believe in Our Signs who, when they are recited to them,
fall down in adoration,
and
celebrate the praises of their Lord, nor are they
(ever)
puffed up with pride. .۩
|
|
16. |
Their
limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on their
Lord, in Fear and Hope:
and
they spend
(in charity)
out
of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them.
|
|
17. |
Now
no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden
(in reserve)
for them -- as a reward for
their
(good)
Deeds.
|
|
18. |
Is
then the man who believes no
better than the man who is rebellious and wicked?
No
equal are they.
|
|
19. |
For
those who believe and do righteous deeds, are Gardens as hospitable
homes, for their
(good)
deeds.
|
|
20. |
As
to those who are rebellious and wicked, their abode will be the
Fire:
every time they wish to get away therefrom, they will be forced
thereinto,
and it will be said to them: "Taste ye the Penalty of the Fire, the
which ye were wont to reject as false." |
|
21. |
And
indeed We will make them taste of the Penalty of this
(life)
prior to the supreme Penalty, in order that they may
(repent and)
return.
|
|
22. |
And
who does more wrong than one to whom are recited the Signs of his
Lord, and who then turns away therefrom?
Verily from those who transgress We shall exact
(Due)
Retribution.
|
|
23. |
We
did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not then in doubt of
its reaching
(thee):
and
We made it a guide to the Children
of Israel.
|
|
24. |
And
We appointed, from among them,
Leaders, giving guidance under Our
command, so long as they
persevered with patience
and continued to have faith in Our Signs.
|
|
25. |
Verily
thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgement, in the
matters wherein they differ
(among themselves).
|
|
26. |
Does
it not teach them a lesson,
how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose dwellings
they
(now)
go
to and fro?
Verily in that are Signs: do they not then listen?
|
|
27. |
And
do they not see that We do drive Rain to parched soil
(bare of herbage),
and produce therewith crops, providing food for their cattle and
themselves?
Have
they not the vision?
|
|
28. |
They
say: "When will this decision be, if ye are telling the truth?"
|
|
29. |
Say:
"On
the Day of Decision, no profit will it be to Unbelievers if they
(then)
believe!
Nor
will they be granted a respite."
|
|
30. |
So
turn away from them, and wait: they
too are waiting.
