Sūra 32: Sajda, or Adoration

Section 1 (1-11)

1. Alif-lam-meem

1. A. L. M.


2. Tanzeelu alkitabi la rayba feehi min rabbi alAAalameena

2. (This is) the Revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt,- from the Lord of the Worlds.


3. Am yaqooloona iftarahu bal huwa alhaqqu min rabbika litunthira qawman ma atahum min natheerin min qablika laAAallahum yahtadoona

3. Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance.


4. Allahu allathee khalaqa alssamawati waal-arda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi ma lakum min doonihi min waliyyin wala shafeeAAin afala tatathakkaroona

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. Yudabbiru al-amra mina alssama-i ila al-ardi thumma yaAAruju ilayhi fee yawmin kana miqdaruhu alfa sanatin mimma taAAuddoona

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. Thalika AAalimu alghaybi waalshshahadati alAAazeezu alrraheemu

6. Such is He, the Knower of all things, hidden and open, the Exalted (in power), the Merciful;-


7. Allathee ahsana kulla shay-in khalaqahu wabadaa khalqa al-insani min teenin

7. He Who has made everything which He has created most good: He began the creation of man with (nothing more than) clay,


8. Thumma jaAAala naslahu min sulalatin min ma-in maheenin

8. And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised:


9. Thumma sawwahu wanafakha feehi min roohihi wajaAAala lakumu alssamAAa waal-absara waal-af-idata qaleelan ma tashkuroona

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. Waqaloo a-itha dalalna fee al-ardi a-inna lafee khalqin jadeedin bal hum biliqa-i rabbihim kafiroona

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. Qul yatawaffakum malaku almawti allathee wukkila bikum thumma ila rabbikum turjaAAoona

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."
