Surah As-Sajdah

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 32:1 ▶

   الٓمٓ ﴿١﴾

   alif-lām-mīm

   Alif, Lām, Meem.

   See footnote to 2:1.

2. 32:2 ▶

   تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٢﴾

   tanzīlu l-kitābi lā rayba fīhi mir rabbi l-ʿālamīn

   [This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.

3. 32:3 ▶

   أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۚ بَلْ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿٣﴾

   am yaqūlūna ftarāh | bal huwa l-ḥaqqu mir rabbika litundhira qawmam mā 'atāhum min nadhīrim min qablika laʿallahum yahtadūn

   Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muḥammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.

4. 32:4 ▶

   ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا شَفِيعٍ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٤﴾

   allāhu lladhī khalaqa s-samāwāti wal-arḍa wamā baynahumā fī sittati 'ayyāmin thumma stawā ʿala l-ʿarsh | mā lakum min dūnihī miw waliyyiw walā shafīʿ | afalā tatadhakkarūn

   It is Allāh who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

   See footnotes to 2:19 and 7:54.

5. 32:5 ▶

   يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥٓ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ﴿٥﴾

   yudabbiru l-amra mina s-samā'i 'ila l-arḍi thumma yaʿruju 'ilayhi fī yawmin kāna miqdāruhū 'alfa sanatim mimmā taʿuddūn

   He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.

6. 32:6 ▶

   ذَٰلِكَ عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿٦﴾

   dhālika ʿālimu l-ghaybi wash-shahādati l-ʿazīzu r-raḥīm

   That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

7. 32:7 ▶

   ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ مِن طِينٍ ﴿٧﴾

   alladhī 'aḥsana kulla shay'in khalaqahū wabada'a khalqa l-insāni min ṭīn

   Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.

8. 32:8 ▶

   ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُۥ مِن سُلَـٰلَةٍ مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ ﴿٨﴾

   thumma jaʿala naslahū min sulālatim mim mā'im mahīn

   Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

9. 32:9 ▶

   ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦ ۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٩﴾

   thumma sawwāhu wanafakha fīhi mir rūḥihī wajaʿala lakumu s-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-af'idah | qalīlam mā tashkurūn

   Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

   i.e., element of life. See footnote to 15:29.

10. 32:10 ▶

    وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍۭ ۚ بَلْ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

    waqālū 'a'idhā ḍalalnā fi l-arḍi 'a'innā lafī khalqin jadīd | bal hum biliqā'i rabbihim kāfirūn

    And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

11. 32:11 ▶

    ۞ قُلْ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱلَّذِى وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿١١﴾

    qul yatawaffākum malaku l-mawti lladhī wukkila bikum thumma 'ilā rabbikum turjaʿūn

    Say, "The angel of death who has been entrusted with you will take you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

12. 32:12 ▶

    وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُوا۟ رُءُوسِهِمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ رَبَّنَآ أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَٱرْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ ﴿١٢﴾

    walaw tarā 'idhi l-mujrimūna nākisū ru'ūsihim ʿinda rabbihim rabbanā 'abṣarnā wasamiʿnā farjiʿnā naʿmal ṣāliḥan 'innā mūqinūn

    If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."

13. 32:13 ▶

    وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَـَٔاتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدَىٰهَا وَلَـٰكِنْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنِّى لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿١٣﴾

    walaw shi'nā la'ātaynā kulla nafsin hudāhā walākin ḥaqqa l-qawlu minnī la'amla'anna jahannama mina l-jinnati wan-nāsi 'ajmaʿīn

    And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

    Deserved by the evildoers.

14. 32:14 ▶

    فَذُوقُوا۟ بِمَا نَسِيتُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـٰذَآ إِنَّا نَسِينَـٰكُمْ ۖ وَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٤﴾

    fadhūqū bimā nasītum liqā'a yawmikum hādhā 'innā nasīnākum | wadhūqū ʿadhāba l-khuldi bimā kuntum taʿmalūn

    So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."

15. 32:15 ▶

    إِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهَا خَرُّوا۟ سُجَّدًا وَسَبَّحُوا۟ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ۩ ﴿١٥﴾

    innamā yu'minu bi'āyātina lladhīna 'idhā dhukkirū bihā kharrū sujjadaw wasabbaḥū biḥamdi rabbihim wahum lā yastakbirūn

    Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.

16. 32:16 ▶

    تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

    tatajāfā junūbuhum ʿani l-maḍājiʿi yadʿūna rabbahum khawfaw waṭamaʿaw wamimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn

    Their sides part [i.e., they arise] from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

    In the cause of Allāh.

17. 32:17 ▶

    فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أُخْفِىَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٧﴾

    falā taʿlamu nafsum mā 'ukhfiya lahum min qurrati 'aʿyunin jazā'am bimā kānū yaʿmalūn

    And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes [i.e., satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.

18. 32:18 ▶

    أَفَمَن كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَن كَانَ فَاسِقًا ۚ لَّا يَسْتَوُۥنَ ﴿١٨﴾

    afaman kāna mu'minan kaman kāna fāsiqal lā yastawūn

    Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.

19. 32:19 ▶

    أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ نُزُلًۢا بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

    amma lladhīna 'āmanū waʿamilu ṣ-ṣāliḥāti falahum jannātu l-ma'wā nuzulam bimā kānū yaʿmalūn

    As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them will be the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do.

20. 32:20 ▶

    وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فَسَقُوا۟ فَمَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓا۟ أَن يَخْرُجُوا۟ مِنْهَآ أُعِيدُوا۟ فِيهَا وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢٠﴾

    wa'amma lladhīna fasaqū fama'wāhumu n-nār | kullamā 'arādū 'ay yakhrujū minhā 'uʿīdū fīhā waqīla lahum dhūqū ʿadhāba n-nāri lladhī kuntum bihī tukadhdhibūn

    But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."

21. 32:21 ▶

    وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ دُونَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

    walanudhīqannahum mina l-ʿadhābi l-adnā dūna l-ʿadhābi l-akbari laʿallahum yarjiʿūn

    And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].

    i.e., the disasters and calamities of this world.

22. 32:22 ▶

    وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَآ ۚ إِنَّا مِنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

    waman 'aẓlamu mimman dhukkira bi'āyāti rabbihī thumma 'aʿraḍa ʿanhā | innā mina l-mujrimīna muntaqimūn

    And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord; then he turns away from them? Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.

23. 32:23 ▶

    وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ فَلَا تَكُن فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّن لِّقَآئِهِۦ ۖ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ﴿٢٣﴾

    walaqad 'ātaynā mūsa l-kitāba falā takun fī miryatim mil liqā'ih | wajaʿalnāhu hudal libanī 'isrā'īl

    And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture, so do not be in doubt over his meeting. And We made it [i.e., the Torah] guidance for the Children of Israel.

    i.e., Muḥammad's meeting Moses on the night of al-Miʿrāj (ascent).

24. 32:24 ▶

    وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَكَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

    wajaʿalnā minhum 'a'immatay yahdūna bi'amrinā lammā ṣabarū | wakānū bi'āyātinā yūqinūn

    And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

25. 32:25 ▶

    إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾

    inna rabbaka huwa yafṣilu baynahum yawma l-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn

    Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

26. 32:26 ▶

    أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَـٰكِنِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ ۖ أَفَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

    awalam yahdi lahum kam 'ahlaknā min qablihim mina l-qurūni yamshūna fī masākinihim | inna fī dhālika la'āyāt | afalā yasmaʿūn

    Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, [as] they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs; then do they not hear?

27. 32:27 ▶

    أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا نَسُوقُ ٱلْمَآءَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهِۦ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَنْعَـٰمُهُمْ وَأَنفُسُهُمْ ۖ أَفَلَا يُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

    awalam yaraw 'annā nasūqu l-mā'a 'ila l-arḍi l-juruzi fanukhriju bihī zarʿan ta'kulu minhu 'anʿāmuhum wa'anfusuhum | afalā yubṣirūn

    Have they not seen that We drive water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?

28. 32:28 ▶

    وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْفَتْحُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٢٨﴾

    wayaqūlūna matā hādha l-fatḥu 'in kuntum ṣādiqīn

    And they say, "When will be this conquest, if you should be truthful?"

    Or "decision," i.e., judgement.

29. 32:29 ▶

    قُلْ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَتْحِ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ ﴿٢٩﴾

    qul yawma l-fatḥi lā yanfaʿu lladhīna kafarū 'īmānuhum walā hum yunẓarūn

    Say, [O Muḥammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."

30. 32:30 ▶

    فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَٱنتَظِرْ إِنَّهُم مُّنتَظِرُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾

    fa'aʿriḍ ʿanhum wantaẓir 'innahum muntaẓirūn

    So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.

In the transliteration, “|”: the reciter stops; “·”: sakt, a brief cut without taking a breath.
