Sourate As-Sajda (32) with hamza shown

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Alif, Lam, Mim.i 1

بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم الم

The sending down of the Scripture, without doubt, is from the Guardian of all beings.i 2

تنزيل ٱلكتب لا ريب فيه من رب ٱلعلمين

Will they say, "He has invented it"? 3

أم يقولون ٱفترىه

It is rather the truth from your Guardian, that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, that they might be guided. 3

بل هو ٱلحق من ربك لتنذر قوما مآ أتىهم من نذير من قبلك لعلهم يهتدون

God is He who created the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, in six days, then established Himself upon the Edifice;i 4

ٱلله ٱلذي خلق ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام ثم ٱستوى على ٱلعرش

you have, besides Him, neither ally nor intercessor. 4

ما لكم من دونه من ولي ولا شفيع

Will you not then be reminded? 4

أفلا تتذكرون

He governs the order from the sky to the earth, then it ascends to Him in a day whose measure is a thousand years by your reckoning. 5

يدبر ٱلأمر من ٱلسمآء إلى ٱلأرض ثم يعرج إليه في يوم كان مقداره ألف سنة مما تعدون

That is the Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is manifest, the All-Powerful, the Benevolent,i 6

ذلك علم ٱلغيب وٱلشهدة ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

who perfected everything He created, and began the creation of man from clay, 7

ٱلذي أحسن كل شىء خلقه وبدأ خلق ٱلإنسن من طين

then made his progeny from an extract of a lowly fluid, 8

ثم جعل نسله من سللة من مآء مهين

then formed him and breathed into him of His Influx, 9

ثم سوىه ونفخ فيه من روحه

and He appointed for you hearing, sight, and Consciences — 9

وجعل لكم ٱلسمع وٱلأبصر وٱلأفدة

how little you are grateful! 9

قليلا ما تشكرون

And they said, "When we are dissolved into the earth, will we truly be in a new creation?" 10

وقالوا أءذا ضللنا في ٱلأرض أءنا لفي خلق جديد

They rather deny the meeting with their Guardian. 10

بل هم بلقآء ربهم كفرون

Say, "The Agent of death, who has been charged with you, will take you; then to your Guardian you will be returned."i 11

قل يتوفىكم ملك ٱلموت ٱلذي وكل بكم ثم إلى ربكم ترجعون

And if you could see when the severed, heads bowed before their Guardian, [will say], "Our Guardian, we have seen and heard, so return us; we will do righteousness — we are now certain." 12

ولو ترى إذ ٱلمجرمون ناكسوا رءوسهم عند ربهم ربنآ أبصرنا وسمعنا فٱرجعنا نعمل صلحا إنا موقنون

And had We willed, We could have given every Self its guidance; 13

ولو شئنا لءاتينا كل نفس هدىها

but My word has come true: "I will surely fill Jahannam with the Occulted and mankind, all together."i 13

ولكن حق ٱلقول مني لأملأن جهنم من ٱلجنة وٱلناس أجمعين

So taste, for having forgotten the meeting of this Day of yours — We have [likewise] forgotten you — 14

فذوقوا بما نسيتم لقآء يومكم هذآ إنا نسينكم

and taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do. 14

وذوقوا عذاب ٱلخلد بما كنتم تعملون

Only those believe in Our signs who, when they are reminded of them, fall down in prostration and glorify their Guardian with praise, and are not arrogant. 15

إنما يؤمن بايتنا ٱلذين إذا ذكروا بها خروا سجدا وسبحوا بحمد ربهم وهم لا يستكبرون

Their sides draw away from their beds, calling upon their Guardian in fear and hope, and they spend out of what We have provided them. 16

تتجافى جنوبهم عن ٱلمضاجع يدعون ربهم خوفا وطمعا ومما رزقنهم ينفقون

And no Self knows what has been hidden for it of a rest of the gaze, as reward for what they used to do. 17

فلا تعلم نفس مآ أخفي لهم من قرة أعين جزآء بما كانوا يعملون

Is he who is a believer like him who is an overstepper? 18

أفمن كان مؤمنا كمن كان فاسقا

They are not equal. 18

لا يستون

As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, they have the gardens of refuge, as a welcome, for what they used to do; 19

أما ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصلحت فلهم جنت ٱلمأوى نزلا بما كانوا يعملون

and as for those who overstepped the limits, their refuge is the Fire: 20

وأما ٱلذين فسقوا فمأوىهم ٱلنار

every time they wish to come out of it, they will be returned to it, and it will be said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny." 20

كلمآ أرادوا أن يخرجوا منهآ أعيدوا فيها وقيل لهم ذوقوا عذاب ٱلنار ٱلذي كنتم به تكذبون

And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment, short of the greater punishment, that they might return [to righteousness]. 21

ولنذيقنهم من ٱلعذاب ٱلأدنى دون ٱلعذاب ٱلأكبر لعلهم يرجعون

And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the signs of his Guardian, and then turns away from them? 22

ومن أظلم ممن ذكر بايت ربه ثم أعرض عنهآ

We will surely take vengeance upon the severed. 22

إنا من ٱلمجرمين منتقمون

And We certainly gave Moussa the Scripture —i 23

ولقد ءاتينا موسى ٱلكتب

so be not in doubt about his meeting [with it] — 23

فلا تكن في مرية من لقآئه

and We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel. 23

وجعلنه هدى لبني إسرءيل

And We appointed among them leaders guiding by Our command, when they had endured patiently, 24

وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا

and had certainty in Our signs. 24

وكانوا بايتنا يوقنون

Your Guardian is certainly He who will judge between them, on the Day of Appearance, concerning that in which they differed.i 25

إن ربك هو يفصل بينهم يوم ٱلقيمة فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون

Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they now walk? 26

أولم يهد لهم كم أهلكنا من قبلهم من ٱلقرون يمشون في مسكنهم

There are certainly in that signs. 26

إن في ذلك لءايت

Do they not then listen? 26

أفلا يسمعون

Have they not seen that We drive the water to the barren land, and thereby bring forth crops from which their cattle and they themselves eat? 27

أولم يروا أنا نسوق ٱلمآء إلى ٱلأرض ٱلجرز فنخرج به زرعا تأكل منه أنعمهم وأنفسهم

Do they not then see? 27

أفلا يبصرون

And they say, "When is this judgment, if you are truthful?" 28

ويقولون متى هذا ٱلفتح إن كنتم صدقين

Say, "On the day of judgment, faith will no longer benefit those who denied, nor will they be given respite." 29

قل يوم ٱلفتح لا ينفع ٱلذين كفروا إيمنهم ولا هم ينظرون

So turn away from them, and wait: 30

فأعرض عنهم وٱنتظر

they too are waiting. 30

إنهم منتظرون
