Surah As-Sajdah

الۤمّۤ ۗ ۝١

Alif lām mīm

1. Alif, Lam, Meem.

تَنْزِيْلُ الْكِتٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهِ مِنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۗ ۝٢

Tanzīlul-kitābi lā roiba fīhi mir robbil-‘ālamīn

2. The revelation of the Book, without a doubt, is from the Lord of the Universe.

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ۚ بَلْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّآ اَتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ نَّذِيْرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُوْنَ ۝٣

Am yaqūlūnaftarōhu balhuwal-ḥaqqu mir robbika litunżiro qoumam mā atāhum min nażīrim min qoblika la‘allahum yahtadūn

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.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِۗ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِيٍّ وَّلَا شَفِيْعٍۗ اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٤

Allāhul-lażī kholaqos-samāwāti wal-arḍo wa mā bainahumā fī sittati ayyāmin ṡummastawā ‘alal-‘arsy, mā lakum min dūnihī miw waliyyiw wa lā syafī‘, afalā tatażakkarūn

4. Allah 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?

يُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ اِلَيْهِ فِيْ يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهٗٓ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ ۝٥

Yudabbirul-amro minas-samā-i ilal-arḍi ṡumma ya‘ruju ilaihi fī yaumin kāna miqdāruhū alfa sanatim mimmā ta‘uddūn

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.

ذٰلِكَ عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُۙ ۝٦

Żālika ‘ālimul-ghoibi wasy-syahādatil-‘azīzur-roḥīm

6. That is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Powerful, the Merciful.

الَّذِيْٓ اَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهٗ وَبَدَاَ خَلْقَ الْاِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِيْنٍ ۝٧

Allażī aḥsana kulla syai'in kholaqohū wa bada'a kholqol-insāni min ṭīn

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

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهٗ مِنْ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنْ مَّاۤءٍ مَّهِيْنٍ ۚ ۝٨

Ṡumma ja‘ala naslahū min sulālatim mim mā-im mahīn

8. Then made his reproduction from an extract of an insignificant fluid.

ثُمَّ سَوّٰىهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِهٖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٕدَةَۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۝٩

Ṡumma sawwāhu wa nafakho fīhi mir rūḥihī wa ja‘ala lakumus-sam‘a wal-abṣōro wal-af'idah, qolīlam mā tasykurūn

9. Then He proportioned him, and breathed into him of His spirit. Then He gave you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the brains—but rarely do you give thanks.

وَقَالُوْٓا ءَاِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى الْاَرْضِ ءَاِنَّا لَفِيْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ ەۗ بَلْ هُمْ بِلِقَاۤءِ رَبِّهِمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۝١٠

Wa qōlū a'iżā ḍolalnā fil-arḍi a'innā lafī kholqin jadīd, bal hum biliqō-i robbihim kāfirūn

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.

قُلْ يَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ مَّلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِيْ وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ࣖ ۝١١

Qul yatawaffākum malakul-mautil-lażī wukkila bikum ṡumma ilā robbikum turja‘ūn

11. Say, “The angel of death put in charge of you will reclaim you. Then to your Lord you will be returned.”

وَلَوْ تَرٰىٓ اِذِ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ نَاكِسُوْا رُءُوْسِهِمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۗ رَبَّنَآ اَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا اِنَّا مُوْقِنُوْنَ ۝١٢

Wa lau tarō iżil-mujrimūna nākisū ru'ūsihim ‘inda robbihim, robbanā abṣornā wa sami‘nā farji‘nā na‘mal ṣōliḥan innā mūqinūn

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.”

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَاٰتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدٰىهَا وَلٰكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّيْ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ ۝١٣

Wa lau syi'nā la'ātainā kulla nafsin hudāhā wa lākin ḥaqqol-qoulu minnī la'amla'anna jahannama minal-jinnati wan-nāsi ajma‘īn

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, all together.”

فَذُوْقُوْا بِمَا نَسِيْتُمْ لِقَاۤءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَاۚ اِنَّا نَسِيْنٰكُمْ وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝١٤

Fa żūqū bimā nasītum liqō-a yaumikum hāżā, innā nasīnākum wa żūqū ‘ażābal-khuldi bimā kuntum ta‘malūn

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.

اِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهَا خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّسَبَّحُوْا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ ۩ ۝١٥

Innamā yu'minu bi'āyātinal-lażīna iżā żukkirū bihā khorrū sujjadaw wa sabbaḥū biḥamdi robbihim wa hum lā yastakbirūn

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.

تَتَجَافٰى جُنُوْبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًاۖ وَّمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ يُنْفِقُوْنَ ۝١٦

Tatajāfā junūbuhum ‘anil-maḍōji‘i yad‘ūna robbahum khoufaw wa ṭoma‘ā, wa mimmā rozaqnāhum yunfiqūn

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.

فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ اُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ قُرَّةِ اَعْيُنٍۚ جَزَاۤءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝١٧

Falā ta‘lamu nafsum mā ukhfiya lahum min qurroti a‘yun, jazā-am bimā kānū ya‘malūn

17. No soul knows what eye’s delight awaits them—a reward for what they used to do.

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقًاۗ لَا يَسْتَوٗنَ ۝١٨

Afaman kāna mu'minan kaman kāna fāsiqō, lā yastawūn

18. Is someone who is faithful like someone who is a sinner? They are not equal.

اَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْمَأْوٰىۖ نُزُلًا ۢبِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ ۝١٩

Ammal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti falahum jannātul-ma'wā, nuzulam bimā kānū ya‘malūn

19. As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them are the Gardens of Shelter—hospitality for what they used to do.

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ فَسَقُوْا فَمَأْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ كُلَّمَآ اَرَادُوْٓا اَنْ يَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَآ اُعِيْدُوْا فِيْهَا وَقِيْلَ لَهُمْ ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۝٢٠

Wa ammal-lażīna fasaqū fa ma'wākumun nāru kullamā arōdū ay yakhrujū minhā u‘īdū fīhā wa qīla lahum żūqū ‘ażāban nāril-lażī kuntum bihī tukażżibūn

20. But as for those who transgressed, their shelter is the Fire. Every time they try to get out of it, they will be brought back into it, and it will be said to them, “Taste the suffering of the Fire which you used to deny.”

وَلَنُذِيْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَدْنٰى دُوْنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٢١

Wa lanużīqonnahum minal-‘ażābil-adnā dūnal-‘ażābil-akbari la‘allahum yarji‘ūn

21. We will make them taste the lesser torment, prior to the greater torment, so that they may return.

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰيٰتِ رَبِّهٖ ثُمَّ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا ۗاِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ مُنْتَقِمُوْنَ ࣖ ۝٢٢

Wa man aẓlamu mimman żukkiro bi'āyāti robbihī ṡumma a‘roḍo ‘anhā, innā minal-mujrimīna muntaqimūn

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.

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ فَلَا تَكُنْ فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْ لِّقَاۤىِٕهٖ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ هُدًى لِّبَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَۚ ۝٢٣

Wa laqod ātainā mūsal-kitāba falā takun fī miryatim mil liqō-ihī wa ja‘alnāhu hudal libanī isrō-īl

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.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً يَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوْاۗ وَكَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ ۝٢٤

Wa ja‘alnā minhum a'immatay yahdūna bi'amrinā lammā ṣobarū, wa kānū bi'āyātinā yūqinūn

24. And We appointed leaders from among them, guiding by Our command, as long as they persevered and were certain of Our communications.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ فِيْمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ۝٢٥

Inna robbaka huwa yafṣilu bainahum yaumal-qiyāmati fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn

25. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding everything they had disputed.

اَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ يَمْشُوْنَ فِيْ مَسٰكِنِهِمْ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍۗ اَفَلَا يَسْمَعُوْنَ ۝٢٦

Awalam yahdi lahum kam ahlaknā min qoblihim minal-qurūni yamsyūna fī masākinihim, inna fī żālika la'āyāt, afalā yasma‘ūn

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?

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا نَسُوْقُ الْمَاۤءَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ الْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهٖ زَرْعًا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ اَنْعَامُهُمْ وَاَنْفُسُهُمْۗ اَفَلَا يُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٢٧

Awalam yarou annā nasūqul-mā-a ilal-arḍil juruzi fanukhriju bihī zar‘an ta'kulu minhu an‘āmuhum wa anfushum, afalā yubṣirūn

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?

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْفَتْحُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٨

Wa yaqūlūna matā hāżal-fatḥu in kuntum ṣōdiqīn

28. And they say, “When is this victory, if you are truthful?”

قُلْ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا يَنْفَعُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْٓا اِيْمَانُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ ۝٢٩

Qul yaumal-fatḥi lā yanfa‘ul-lażīna kafarū īmānuhum wa lā hum yunẓorūn

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 granted respite.”

فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَانْتَظِرْ اِنَّهُمْ مُّنْتَظِرُوْنَ ۝٣٠

Fa a‘riḍ ‘anhum wantaẓir innahum muntaẓirūn

30. So turn away from them, and wait. They too are waiting.
