A. L. M.\n2. (This is) the revelation\n Of the Book in which\n There is no doubt,\u2014\n From the Lord of the Worlds.\n3. Or do they say,\n \"He has forged it\"?\n Nay, it is the Truth\n From thy Lord, that thou\n Mayest admonish a people\n To whom no warner\n Has come before thee:\n In order that they\n May receive guidance.\n4. It is God Who has\n Created the heavens\n And the earth, and all\n Between them, in six Days,\nAnd is firmly established\n On the Throne (of authority):\n Ye have none, besides Him,\n To protect or intercede (for you):\n Will ye not then\n Receive admonition?\n5. He rules (all) affairs\n From the heavens\n To the earth: in the end\n Will (all affairs) go up\n To Him, on a Day,\n The space whereof will be\n (As) a thousand years\n Of your reckoning.\n6. Such is He, the Knower\n Of all things, hidden\n And open, the Exalted\n (In power), the Merciful;\u2014\n7. He Who has made\n Everything which He has created\n Most Good: He began\n The creation of man\n With (nothing more than) clay,\n8. And made his progeny\n From a quintessence\n Of the nature of\n A fluid despised:\n9. But He fashioned him\n In due proportion, and breathed\n Into him something of\n His spirit. And He gave\n You (the faculties of) hearing\n And sight and feeling\n (And understanding):\n Little thanks do ye give!\n10. And they say: \"What!\n When we lie, hidden\n And lost, in the earth,\n Shall we indeed be\n In a Creation renewed?\n Nay, they deny the Meeting\n With their Lord!\"\n11. Say: \"The Angel of Death,\n Put in charge of you,\n Will (duly) take your souls:\n Then shall ye be brought\n Back to your Lord.\"\n12. If only thou couldst see\n When the guilty ones\n Will bend low their heads\n Before their Lord, (saying:)\n \"Our Lord! We have seen\n And we have heard:\n Now then send us back\n (To the world): we will\n Work righteousness: for we\n Do indeed (now) believe.\"\n13. If We had so willed,\n We could certainly have brought\n Every soul its true guidance:\n But the Word from Me\n Will come true, \"I will\n Fill Hell with Jinns\n And men all together.\"\n14. \"Taste ye then\u2014for ye\n Forgot the Meeting\n Of this Day of yours,\n And We too will\n Forget you\u2014taste ye\n The Penalty of Eternity\n For your (evil) deeds!\"\n15. Only those believe\n In Our Signs, who, when\nThey are recited to them,\n Fall down in adoration,\n And celebrate the praises\n Of their Lord, nor are they\n (Ever) puffed up with pride.\n16. Their limbs do forsake\n Their beds of sleep, the while\n They call on their Lord,\n In Fear and Hope:\n And they spend (in charity)\n Out of the sustenance which\n We have bestowed on them.\n17. Now no person knows\n What delights of the eye\n Are kept hidden (in reserve)\n For them\u2014as a reward\n For their (good) Deeds.\n18. Is then the man\n Who believes no better\n Than the man who is\n Rebellious and wicked?\n Not equal are they.\n19. For those who believe\n And do righteous deeds,\n Are Gardens as hospitable\n Homes, for their (good) deeds.\n20. As to those who are\n Rebellious and wicked, their abode\n Will be the Fire: every time\n They wish to get away\n Therefrom, they will be forced\n Thereinto, and it will be said\n To them: \"Taste ye\n The Penalty of the Fire,\n The which ye were wont\n To reject as false.\"\n21. And indeed We will make\n Them taste of the Penalty\n Of this (life) prior to\n The supreme Penalty, in order\n That they may (repent and) return.\n22. And who does more wrong\n Than one to whom are recited\n The Signs of his Lord,\n And who then turns away\n Therefrom? Verily from those\n Who transgress We shall exact\n (Due) Retribution.\n23. We did indeed aforetime\n Give the Book to Moses:\nBe not then in doubt\n Of its reaching (thee):\n And We made it\n A guide to the Children\n Of Israel.\n24. And We appointed, from among\n Them, Leaders, giving guidance\n Under Our command, so long\n As they persevered with patience\n And continued to have faith\n In Our Signs.\n25. Verily thy Lord will judge\n Between them on the Day\n Of Judgment, in the matters\n Wherein they differ\n (among themselves)\n26. Does it not teach them\n A lesson, how many generations\n We destroyed before them,\n In whose dwellings they\n (Now) go to and fro?\n Verily in that are Signs:\n Do they not then listen?\n27. And do they not see\n That We do drive Rain\n To parched soil (bare\n Of herbage), and produce therewith\n Crops, providing food\n For their cattle and themselves?\n Have they not the vision?\n28. They say: \"When will\n This Decision be, if ye\n Are telling the truth?\"\n29. Say: \"On the Day\n Of Decision, no profit\n Will it he to Unbelievers\n If they (then) believe!\n Nor Will they he granted\n A respite.\"\n30. So turn away from them,\n And wait: they too\n Are waiting.","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra XXXII. Sajda, or Adoration","type":"page"}
