0:08 Abridged by Dr. Aqil Ibn Salim al-Shammari.

0:12 Surah al-Sajdah.

0:18 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:22 Alif-Lam-Mim.

0:30 “The revelation of the Scripture whereof there is no doubt is from the Lord of the Worlds.” (32:2)

0:35 Or do they say, "He has fabricated it"?

0:38 “Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayst warn a folk to whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may walk aright.” (32:3)

0:47 “Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayst warn a folk to whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may walk aright.” (32:3)

0:57 Alif-Lam-Mim.

0:59 The revelation of the Book, which was sent down to Muhammad, peace be upon him.

1:05 There is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the two worlds: the jinn and mankind.

1:09 The polytheists who associate partners with Allah say:

1:12 "Muhammad has fabricated this Book of his own accord."

1:16 Yet it is not as you claim.

1:18 Rather, it is the truth and the reality from your Lord, O Muhammad.

1:22 It is sent so that you may warn a people of the might and severity of Allah, lest it befall them due to their disbelief in Him.

1:29 No warner had come to these people, to whom your Lord sent you, O Muhammad,

1:34 to warn them of the might of Allah regarding their disbelief before you.

1:38 This is so that they may discern the path of truth, recognize it, and believe in it.

1:43 “Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have not, beside Him, a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then remember?” (32:4)

1:54 Then He rose over the Throne.

1:59 “Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days. Then He mounted the Throne. Ye have not, beside Him, a protecting friend or mediator. Will ye not then remember?” (32:4)

2:06 Will you not then take heed?

2:09 The One who is worshipped, to whom alone worship is due, O mankind:

2:15 He created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days.

2:21 Then He rose over His Throne on the seventh day.

2:25 You have no protector besides Him, O mankind, to manage your affairs or aid you against Him if He intends harm for you.

2:32 Nor is there any intercessor who can intercede for you with Him if He punishes you for your disobedience to Him.

2:38 Will you not then reflect and contemplate, O mankind?

2:42 So single Him out for divinity and devote your worship exclusively to Him.

2:48 “He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day, whereof the measure is a thousand years of that ye reckon.” (32:5)

2:53 “He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day, whereof the measure is a thousand years of that ye reckon.” (32:5)

3:06 Allah is the One who directs the affair of His creation from the heaven to the earth.

3:12 Then it ascends from the earth to the heaven in one day,

3:17 the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count in the days of this world.

3:22 “Such is the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, the Mighty, the Merciful,” (32:6)

3:30 This One who does what I have described to you in these verses

3:35 is the Knower of what is hidden from your sight, of what the chests conceal and the souls hide,

3:41 and of what has not yet come to pass but will be,

3:45 and of what the eyes have witnessed, seen, and observed, and what currently exists.

3:51 He is severe in His retribution against those who disbelieve in Him,

3:55 and merciful to those who repent from their misguidance and return to faith in Him and His Messenger.

4:01 “Who made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay;” (32:7)

4:06 He began the creation of man from clay.

4:12 “Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid;” (32:8)

4:23 Allah is the One who perfected His creation,

4:26 and He began the creation of Adam from clay.

4:29 Then He made his progeny from a liquid that was extracted, emerging as a weak, thin drop.

4:36 “Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!” (32:9)

4:42 And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts; yet little do you give thanks.

4:52 Then He fashioned the human, whose creation He began from clay, into a balanced and well-proportioned form.

4:58 He breathed into him from His spirit, and he became a living, speaking being.

5:03 Your Lord has bestowed favors upon you, O mankind,

5:06 by giving you hearing with which you hear sounds,

5:10 sight with which you see objects,

5:13 and hearts with which you distinguish good from evil.

5:17 Yet you offer but little thanks to your Lord for what He has bestowed upon you.

5:40 The polytheists who associate partners with Allah say:

5:42 "When our flesh and bones have become dust in the earth,

5:47 shall we be resurrected as a new creation?"

5:49 These polytheists do not deny the power of Allah,

5:53 “And they say: When we are lost in the earth, how can we then be re-created? Nay but they are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.” (32:10)

5:56 but they fear His punishment for their disobedience to Him.

6:00 It is for this reason that they deny meeting their Lord in the Hereafter.
