32: The Prostration, Worship, Adoration
|
1 |
A. L. M.
|
2 |
(This is) the Revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt,- from
the Lord of the Worlds.
|
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 |
It is God 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 |
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 |
Such is He, the Knower of all things, hidden and open, the Exalted (in
power), the Merciful;-
|
7 |
He Who has made everything which He has created most good: He began
the creation of man with (nothing more than) clay,
|
8 |
And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid
despised:
|
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 |
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 |
Say: "The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your
souls: then shall ye be brought back to your Lord."
|
12 |
If only thou couldst see when the guilty ones will bend low their
heads before their Lord, (saying:) "Our Lord! We have seen and we have
heard: Now then send us back (to the world): we will work
righteousness: for we do indeed (now) believe."
|
13 |
If We had so willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its
true guidance: but the Word from Me will come true, "I will fill Hell
with Jinns and men all together."
|
14 |
"Taste ye then - for ye forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours, and
We too will forget you - taste ye the Penalty of Eternity for your
(evil) deeds!"
|
15 |
Only those believe in Our Signs, who, when they are recited to them,
fall down in adoration, and celebrate the praises of their Lord, nor
are they (ever) puffed up with pride.
|
16 |
Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on
their Lord, in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the
sustenance which We have bestowed on them.
|
17 |
Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in
reserve) for them - as a reward for their (good) deeds.
|
18 |
Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is rebellious
and wicked? Not equal are they.
|
19 |
For those who believe and do righteous deeds are Gardens as hospitable
homes, for their (good) deeds.
|
20 |
As to those who are rebellious and wicked, their abode will be the
Fire: every time they wish to get away therefrom, they will be forced
thereinto, and it will be said to them: "Taste ye the Penalty of the
Fire, the which ye were wont to reject as false."
|
21 |
And indeed We will make them taste of the Penalty of this (life) prior
to the supreme Penalty, in order that they may (repent and) return.
|
22 |
And who does more wrong than one to whom are recited the Signs of his
Lord, and who then turns away therefrom? Verily from those who
transgress We shall exact (due) Retribution.
|
23 |
We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not then in doubt
of its reaching (thee): and We made it a guide to the Children of
Israel.
|
24 |
And We appointed, from among them, leaders, giving guidance under Our
command, so long as they persevered with patience and continued to
have faith in Our Signs.
|
25 |
Verily thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, in the
matters wherein they differ (among themselves)
|
26 |
Does it not teach them a lesson, how many generations We destroyed
before them, in whose dwellings they (now) go to and fro? Verily in
that are Signs: Do they not then listen?
|
27 |
And do they not see that We do drive rain to parched soil (bare of
herbage), and produce therewith crops, providing food for their cattle
and themselves? Have they not the vision?
|
28 |
They say: "When will this decision be, if ye are telling the truth?"
|
29 |
Say: "On the Day of Decision, no profit will it be to Unbelievers if
they (then) believe! nor will they be granted a respite."
|
30 |
So turn away from them, and wait: they too are waiting.
