Sura al-Sajda

32:1. Alif, Lam, Mim.

الم

32:2. The revelation of the Book, there is no doubt in it, is from the Lord of all worlds.

تنزيل الكتاب لا ريب فيه من رب العالمين

32:3. Do they say: ‘He has fabricated it?’ No! It is the truth from your Lord so that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you—that perhaps they may be guided (to the right path).

أم يقولون افتراه بل هو الحق من ربك لتنذر قوما ما أتاهم من نذير من قبلك لعلهم يهتدون

32:4. Allah is the One Who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six periods. Then He established (His authority) over the Throne (befitting His Glory). Apart from Him, you have neither any protector nor intercessor. Will you not then become mindful (of advice)?

الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام ثم استوى على العرش ما لكم من دونه من ولي ولا شفيع أفلا تتذكرون

32:5. He governs every affair from the heavens to the earth. Then it all ascends to Him in a day whose measure is a thousand years by your counting.

يدبر الأمر من السماء إلى الأرض ثم يعرج إليه في يوم كان مقداره ألف سنة مما تعدون

32:6. That is the Knower of the Unseen and the seen—the All-Mighty, the All-Merciful,

ذلك عالم الغيب والشهادة العزيز الرحيم

32:7. Who perfected everything that He created and originated the creation of humankind from clay.

* Comprising minerals, metals, salts and chemical elements like calcium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, natrum, kalium, silicon, chlorine, iodine, fluorine, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, ferrum, cuprum, etc. These and other elements of clay also form the ingredients of a balanced diet essential for our nourishment. The animals whose meat and milk we take live on the vegetable world. The grain, vegetables, fruits and roots that form our food feed on the soil they grow in and absorb all its chemicals.

الذي أحسن كل شيء خلقه وبدأ خلق الإنسان من طين

32:8. Then, He made his progeny from an extract of an ignoble fluid.

ثم جعل نسله من سلالة من ماء مهين

32:9. Then, He proportioned him and breathed into him from His spirit. Then He made for you ears, eyes and hearts. Yet you hardly give thanks.

ثم سواه ونفخ فيه من روحه وجعل لكم السمع والأبصار والأفئدة قليلا ما تشكرون

32:10. Still, they say (mockingly): ‘When we are lost in the earth, shall we certainly be (raised) in a new creation?’ Instead, they disbelieve in the meeting of their Lord.

وقالوا أئذا ضللنا في الأرض أئنا لفي خلق جديد بل هم بلقاء ربهم كافرون

32:11. Say: ‘The angel of death, who has been given charge of you, will take you (i.e. your soul) away. Then to your Lord, you shall be returned.’

قل يتوفاكم ملك الموت الذي وكل بكم ثم إلى ربكم ترجعون

32:12. And if you could see when the guilty, hanging their heads (in shame) in the presence of their Lord, (will confess:) ‘Our Lord! We have seen and heard; therefore, send us back (to the world) so that we may act righteously. Indeed, we are (now) convinced.’

ولو ترى إذ المجرمون ناكسو رؤوسهم عند ربهم ربنا أبصرنا وسمعنا فارجعنا نعمل صالحا إنا موقنون

32:13. And had We willed, We could have given each soul its guidance, but the Word from Me is confirmed (against the defiant): ‘I will indeed fill up Hell with the (guilty) jinn and humans all together.’

ولو شئنا لآتينا كل نفس هداها ولكن حق القول مني لأملأن جهنم من الجنة والناس أجمعين

32:14. So taste (the punishment), for you forgot the meeting of this day of yours. We (too) have forgotten you. And taste the everlasting punishment for what you used to do.

فذوقوا بما نسيتم لقاء يومكم هذا إنا نسيناكم وذوقوا عذاب الخلد بما كنتم تعملون

32:15. The (true) believers in Our revelations are only those who, when reminded of them, fall into prostration and glorify their Lord’s praise, and are not arrogant.

إنما يؤمن بآياتنا الذين إذا ذكروا بها خروا سجدا وسبحوا بحمد ربهم وهم لا يستكبرون

32:16. Their sides abandon their beds, calling upon their Lord out of fear and hope. And they spend (in charity) from what We have provided them.

تتجافى جنوبهم عن المضاجع يدعون ربهم خوفا وطمعا ومما رزقناهم ينفقون

32:17. No soul knows what has been kept hidden for them of comfort to the eyes as a reward for what they used to do.

فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين جزاء بما كانوا يعملون

32:18. Is one who believes like the one who is a transgressor? They are not equal.

أفمن كان مؤمنا كمن كان فاسقا لا يستوون

32:19. Those who believe and perform righteous deeds will have the Gardens of Eternal abode as a hospitality for what they used to do.

أما الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات فلهم جنات المأوى نزلا بما كانوا يعملون

32:20. As for those who disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Whenever they desire to come out of it, they will be driven back into it and told: ‘Taste the torment of the Fire which you used to deny.’

وأما الذين فسقوا فمأواهم النار كلما أرادوا أن يخرجوا منها أعيدوا فيها وقيل لهم ذوقوا عذاب النار الذي كنتم به تكذبون

32:21. We will surely make them taste some of the minor punishment (of this world) before the greater punishment (of the Hereafter). Perhaps they may return (to the right path).

ولنذيقنهم من العذاب الأدنى دون العذاب الأكبر لعلهم يرجعون

32:22. Who is a greater wrongdoer than the one who is reminded of his Lord’s signs and then turns away from them? Indeed, We shall take vengeance upon the guilty.

ومن أظلم ممن ذكر بآيات ربه ثم أعرض عنها إنا من المجرمين منتقمون

32:23. And We certainly gave Musa (Moses) the Book. So be not in doubt regarding his meeting (with Him). And We made him a guide for the Children of Israel.

ولقد آتينا موسى الكتاب فلا تكن في مرية من لقائه وجعلناه هدى لبني إسرائيل

32:24. We raised leaders among them, guiding (the people) according to Our command when they patiently endured and firmly believed in Our revelations.

وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بآياتنا يوقنون

32:25. Surely your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to differ.

إن ربك هو يفصل بينهم يوم القيامة فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون

32:26. Does it not guide them: how many generations We have destroyed before them, amidst (the ruins of) whose dwellings they walk? There are indeed signs in it. Will they not then listen?

أولم يهد لهم كم أهلكنا من قبلهم من القرون يمشون في مساكنهم إن في ذلك لآيات أفلا يسمعون

32:27. Do they not see that We carry rainwater to the barren land and produce (various) crops through it, from which they and their cattle eat? Do they not observe?

أولم يروا أنا نسوق الماء إلى الأرض الجرز فنخرج به زرعا تأكل منه أنعامهم وأنفسهم أفلا يبصرون

32:28. And they say: ‘When is this victory (of yours coming) if you are truthful?’

ويقولون متى هذا الفتح إن كنتم صادقين

32:29. Say: ‘On the Day of victory, faith will not benefit those who disbelieved (in this world), nor will they be given respite.’

قل يوم الفتح لا ينفع الذين كفروا إيمانهم ولا هم ينظرون

32:30. So turn away from them and wait, and they (too) are waiting.

فأعرض عنهم وانتظر إنهم منتظرون
