32. PROSTRATION
1. Alif, Lam,
Meem.
2. The revelation
of the Book, without a doubt, is from the Lord of the Universe.
3. Yet they say,
“He made it up.” In fact, it is the Truth from your Lord, to warn a people who
received no warner before you, that they may be guided.
4. God is He who
created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days, and
then established Himself on the Throne. Apart from Him, you have no master and
no intercessor. Will you not reflect?
5. He regulates
all affairs, from the heavens, to the earth. Then it ascends to Him on a Day
the length of which is a thousand years by your count.
6. That is the
Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Powerful, the Merciful.
7. He who
perfected everything He created, and originated the creation of man from clay.
8. Then made his
reproduction from an extract of an insignificant fluid.
9. Then He
proportioned him, and breathed into him of His Spirit. Then He gave you the
hearing, the eyesight, and the brains—but rarely do you give thanks.
10. And they say,
“When we are lost into the earth, shall we be in a new creation?” In fact, they
deny the meeting with their Lord. 11. Say, “The angel of death put in charge of
you will reclaim you. Then to your Lord you will be returned.”
12. If only you
could see the guilty, bowing their heads before their Lord: “Our Lord, we have
seen and we have heard, so send us back, and we will act righteously; we are now
convinced.”
13. Had We willed,
We could have given every soul its guidance, but the declaration from Me will
come true, “I will fill Hell with jinn and humans, altogether.”
14. So taste,
because you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours; We have forgotten you; so
taste the eternal torment for what you used to do.
15. They believe
in Our communications, those who, when reminded of them, fall down prostrate,
and glorify their Lord with praise, and are not proud.
16. Their sides
shun their beds, as they pray to their Lord, out of reverence and hope, and
from Our provisions to them, they give.
17. No soul knows
what eye’s delight awaits them—a reward for what they used to do.
18. Is someone who
is faithful like someone who is a sinner? They are not equal.
19. As for those
who believe and do righteous deeds, for them are the Gardens of Shelter—hospitality
for what they used to do.
20. But as for
those who transgressed, their shelter is the Fire. Every time they try to get
out of it, they are brought back into it, and it will be said to them, “Taste
the suffering of the Fire which you used to deny.”
21. We will make
them taste the lesser torment, prior to the greater torment, so that they may
return.
22. Who is more
wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from
them? We will certainly wreak vengeance upon the criminals.
23. We gave Moses
the Book; so do not be in doubt regarding His encounter; and We made it a
guidance for the Children of Israel.
24. And We
appointed leaders from among them, guiding by Our command, as long as they
persevered and were certain of Our communications.
25. Your Lord will
judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they had
disputed.
26. Is it not a lesson for them, how many generations We have destroyed before them, in whose habitations they walk? Surely in that are signs. Do they not hear?
27. Do they not
see how We conduct the water to a dry land, and with it We produce vegetation,
from which their livestock eat, and themselves? Do they not see?
28. And they say,
“When is this victory, if you are truthful?”
29. Say, “On the
day of victory, the faith of those who disbelieved will be of no avail to them,
and they will not be given respite.”
30. So turn away from them and wait. They too are waiting.
