The Prostration

Alif-Lam-Mim.

The sending down of the Book in which there is no doubt is from the Lord of the Worlds.

Or do they say: “He has forged it”? Nay! It is the truth from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner (prophet) has come before you. Maybe so they will turn (Submit to Allah).

Allah it is, He Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in Six Days. Then He rose over the Heaven of Heavens. You have no friend, no intercessor besides Him. Will you still not then deliberate?

He regulates the Orders (all that come from Allah and return to Allah) from the heaven to the earth. And then it ascends to Him in one day, the duration of which is equal to thousands of years according to your (earthly) calculation.

That is the All-Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, the Majestic, the Most Merciful (the One Who acts with His Name of the Most Merciful),

Who made everything He has created the most beautiful and He began the first creation of human from clay,

then He made his progeny from the most of ordinary water (of semen).

Then He designed him and breathed into him (into his physical body) of His Spirit, and gave you (sense of) hearing and (sense of) seeing and (sense of) comprehension. How little you thank!

And they said: “When we mix in the earth, shall we then certainly be in a new creation”? Nay! They are those who deny in the Meeting with their Lord (in reaching spirit their Lord while they are living).

Say: “The angel of death, who is appointed of you shall cause you to die, then to your Lord you shall be brought back”.

And if you only could see when the guilty hang down their heads before their Lord (and say): “Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard, therefore send us back (to the world), let us do righteous deeds. Surely, we made sure (we seen the truth).

And if We had willed, We would certainly have given to every soul its Return (We turned to Himself the spirit of all). But has become true Word from Me: “I will certainly completely fill Hell with the jinn and the mankind.

So taste (the torment of the Fire) because you forgot the meeting of this (reaching Allah) Day of yours. Surely, We (too) forgot you. So, taste the abiding torment for what you used to do”.

But believe in Our Verses who, when they are reminded of them (Verses), fall down to prostrate, and glorify their Lord with praise and they are not arrogant.

They get out of bed, waking up on their sides, praying to their Lord with fear and hope, and give from what We have provided for them.

And not a one soul knows what is hidden for them from the light in the eyes of the heart of the soul as a reward for what they did.

Is he then who is a believer like him who is an ungodly one? They are not equal.

But for those who became believe (wished to return the spirit of Allah while they are living) and do righteous deeds, here are the paradises are prepared for them, as a shelter (and for Ulul Elbab, the heavens of Meva) as an offering for what they have done.

And as for those who are ungodly ones (who deviate from the right Way of Allah), their shelter is the Fire. Whenever they desire to go forth from it, they are brought (returned) back into it, and it is said to them: “Taste the torment of the Fire which you used to deny (belie)”.

And most certainly We will make them taste of the nearer torment before the greater torment. It is hoped that haply they may turn (to Allah by wishing to reach Him).

And who can be more wrong-doing than he who is reminded of the Verses of his Lord, then he turns away from them? Surely, We are the Ones who shall take vengeance from the guilty.

And certainly We gave a Book to Moses. After that be not in doubt about meeting with Him (about having your spirit reach Allah while you are living) and We made it (the Torah) a guide of Return/submission to Allah) for the Children of Israel.

And We made of them Imams (religious leaders) who by Our Command to Return (return the spirits of people to Allah until death) because they were the owners of Patience and believed with certainty (absolutely true faith at the level of Hakkul Yakin) in Our verses.

Surely your Lord will distinguish (judge) between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.

Did not He deliver them to Return (to the wish to return the spirit of Allah to death)? How many of the generations We have destroyed before them? They have been walking about in their dwellings (they used to be). Most surely there are Signs (lessons) in this will they not then hear?

Have they not seen how We drive water to the dry land? Then We bring forth thereby crops, from that their cattle and they eat. Will they not then see?

And they say: “When is the conquest, if you are truthful”?

Say: “On the Day of conquest the faith of those who disbelieve (who did not wish to reach Allah) will not profit them, nor will they be given time”.

Therefore turn away from them and wait. Surly they too are awaiting.
