> SURA XXXII (32) - ADORATION     (Mecca - 30 Verses)             (LXX - 190    
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
>  
>        Elif. Lam. Mim.  This Book is without a doubt a Revelation sent down
> from the Lord of the Worlds.
>  
>        Will they say, He hath forged it?  Nay, it is the truth from thy Lord
> that thou mayest warn a people to whom no warner hath come before thee, that
> haply they may be guided.
>  
>        God it is who hath created the Heavens and the Earth and all that is
> between them in six days; then ascended his throne.  Save Him ye have no
> patron, and none to plead for you.  Will ye not then reflect?
>  
>        From the Heaven to the Earth He governeth all things:  hereafter shall
> they come up to him on a day whose length shall be a thousand of such years as
> ye reckon.
>  
>        This is He who knoweth the unseen and the seen; the Mighty, the
> Merciful,
>  
>        Who hath made everything which he hath created most good; and began the
> creation of man with clay;
>  
>        Then ordained his progeny from germs of life, from sorry water:
>  
>        Then shaped him, and breathed of His Spirit into him, and gave you
> hearing and seeing and hearts:  what little thanks do ye return!
>  
>        And they say, "What! when we shall have laid hidden in the earth, shall
> we become a new creation?"
>  
> 32:10  Yea, they deny that they shall meet their Lord.
>  
>        Say:  The angel of death who is charged with you shall cause you to die:
> then shall ye be returned to your Lord.
>  
>        Couldst thou but see when the guilty shall droop their heads before
> their Lord, and cry, "O our Lord!  we have seen and we have heard:  return us
> then to life:  we will do that which is right.  Verily we believe firmly!"
>  
>        (Had we pleased we had certainly given to every soul its guidance.  But
> true shall be the word which hath gone forth from me - I will surely fill hell
> with Djinn and men together.)
>  
>        "Taste then the recompense of your having forgotten the meeting with
> this your day.  We, too, we have forgotten you:  taste then an eternal
> punishment for that which ye have wrought."
>  
>        They only believe in our signs, who, when mention is made of them, fall
> down in adoration, and celebrate the praise of their Lord, and are not puffed
> up with disdain:
>  
>        Who, as they raise them from their couches, call on their Lord with fear
> and desire, and give alms of that with which we have supplied them.
>  
>        No soul knoweth what joy of the eye is reserved for the good in
> recompense of their works.
>  
>        Shall he then who is a believer be as he who sinneth grossly? they shall
> not be held alike.
>  
>        As to those who believe and do that which is right, they shall have
> gardens of eternal abode as the meed of their works:
>  
> 32:20  But at for those who grossly sin, their abode shall be the fire:  so
> oft as they shall desire to escape out of it, back shall they be turned into
> it.  And it shall be said to them, Taste ye the torment of the fire, which he
> treated as a lie.
>  
>        And we will surely cause them to taste a punishment yet nearer at hand,
> beside the greater punishment, that haply they may turn to us in penitence.
>  
>        Who acteth worse than he who is warned by the signs of his Lord, then
> turneth away from them?  We will surely take vengeance on the guilty ones.
>  
>        We heretofore gave the Book of the law to Moses:  have thou no doubt as
> to our meeting with him:  and we appointed it for the guidance of the children
> of Israel.
>  
>        And we appointed Imams from among them who should guide after our
> command when they had themselves endured with constancy, and had firmly
> believed in our signs.
>  
>        Now thy Lord!  He will decide between them on the day of resurrection as
> to the subject of their disputes.
>  
>        Is it not notorious to them how many generations, through whose abodes
> they walk, we have destroyed before them?  Truly herein are signs:  will they
> not then hear?
>  
>        See they not how we drive the rain to some parched land and thereby
> bring forth corn of which their cattle and themselves do not eat?  Will they
> not then behold?
>  
>        They say, "When will this decision take place?  Tell us, if ye are men
> of truth?"
>  
>        Say:  On the day of that decision, the faith of infidels shall not avail
> them, and they shall have no further respite.
>  
> 32:30  Stand aloof from them then, and wait thou, for they too wait.
