Sajda

By the Name

God

the Fount-of-All-Mercy
the Ever-Merciful

Alif Lam Mim

the sending down
of the Book

in which there is
no doubt

from
the Liege of
all the worlds

or do they say

"He made it up"?

say

"No

it is the truth
from your Liege"

so you may warn
a people
for whom
no warner came
before you

so that hopefully
they may be guided

God is Hu created
the heavens and the earth
and what is between them

in six days

then seated Hu
upon the Throne

apart from Hu
you have no protector

no one to step in for you

will you not remember?

Hu
controls everything
from heaven to earth

then it goes up to Hu
in one day

which measures
a thousand years
of your counting

Hu is
the Knower of
the unseen
and the visible

the All-Powerful
the Ever-Merciful

Hu has created
all things well

and began
the creation of humans
out of clay

then Hu shaped
their offspring

from what came from
a despised liquid

then Hu shaped them

and breathed Hu's spirit
into them

and made for you
hearing and sight
and hearts

little thanks you show

they say

"What

when we are lost
in the ground

will we really be
in a new creation?"

no
they do not believe in
the meeting with their Liege

say

"The Angel of Death
who has been given
charge of you
will gather you

and to your Liege
you will be returned"

if only you could see
the guilty

hanging their heads
before their Liege

"Our Liege
we have seen and heard

now return us
so we can do good

now we believe"

if We had willed it
We could have shown
every soul
its right way

but now My Word
is shown to be true

surely I shall
fill Hellfire
with jinn
and humankind
together

so taste it

because you forgot
the meeting
on this
your day
We have forgotten you

taste
the punishment of
forever
for what you did

the only ones who truly
believe in Our Signs

are those who
when they are
reminded of them
fall down in Sajda

and call out
praise of their Liege
and are not proud

their sides
stay away from
their beds
as they call on their Liege
in fear and hope

and they spend
from what
We have provided
for them

no soul knows
the delight
that is
kept aside for them

secretly

as their reward
for what they were doing

is someone who believes
like someone who
has been wicked?

they are not equal

as for those
who believe
and do what is right

waiting for them are
Gardens of Safety

comforts of home
for what they did

but as for those
who are wicked

their shelter
will be the Fire

as often as they want
to come out of it
they shall be
put back into it

and it will be said to them

"Taste the punishment of
the Fire
which you called a lie"

and We will surely
let them taste
a closer punishment
before the greater

in the hope that
they will turn back

and who could do
a greater wrong

than those who are
reminded of
the Signs of their Liege
then turn away from them?

We shall take revenge
upon those who do evil

We gave Moses the Book

so do not be
in doubt about
the meeting with him

and We made it
to be a guide
to the Tribe of Israel

and We made leaders
from among them

guided by
Our command

while they
suffered patiently

and had sure belief
in Our Signs

surely your Liege
will decide between them
on the Day of Rising

concerning the things
about which
they were arguing

are they not guided
by the many families
that went before them

that We already destroyed

and in whose living places
they now walk?

surely in that are Signs

will they not hear?

have they not seen

how We drive
the water
to the dry land
and bring out from it
crops

which are eaten
by their livestock
and themselves?

will they not see?

they also say

"When will it be
this victory
if you speak the truth?"

say

"On the Day of Victory

their belief
will be no good
if they are
ungrateful

nor will they
be given
relief"

so turn away from them

and wait

they too are waiting
