First Rak'ah... [Surat As-Sajdah (The Prostration) - سورة السجدة]
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
32:1
Sahih International
Alif, Lam, Meem.
32:2
Sahih International
[This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.
32:3
Sahih International
Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muhammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.
32:4
Sahih International
It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?
32:5
Sahih International
He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.
32:6
Sahih International
That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
32:7
Sahih International
Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.
32:8
Sahih International
Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.
32:9
Sahih International
Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.
32:10
Sahih International
And they say, "When we are lost within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.
32:11
Sahih International
Say, "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."
32:12
Sahih International
If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."
32:13
Sahih International
And if we had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.
32:14
Sahih International
So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."
32:15
Sahih International
Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [ Allah ] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.
32:16
Sahih International
They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.
32:17
Sahih International
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.
32:18
Sahih International
Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal.
32:19
Sahih International
As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them will be the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do.
32:20
Sahih International
But as for those who defiantly disobeyed, their refuge is the Fire. Every time they wish to emerge from it, they will be returned to it while it is said to them, "Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny."
32:21
Sahih International
And we will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will repent.
32:22
Sahih International
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord; then he turns away from them? Indeed We, from the criminals, will take retribution.
32:23
Sahih International
And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture, so do not be in doubt over his meeting. And we made the Torah guidance for the Children of Israel.
32:24
Sahih International
And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.
32:25
Sahih International
Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
32:26
Sahih International
Has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them, [as] they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs; then do they not hear?
32:27
Sahih International
Have they not seen that We drive the water [in clouds] to barren land and bring forth thereby crops from which their livestock eat and [they] themselves? Then do they not see?
32:28
Sahih International
And they say, "When will be this conquest, if you should be truthful?"
32:29
Sahih International
Say, [O Muhammad], "On the Day of Conquest the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."
32:30
Sahih International
So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.
Second Rak'ah... [Surat Al-'Insān (The Man) - سورة الانسان]
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
76:1
Sahih International
Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?
76:2
Sahih International
Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.
76:3
Sahih International
Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.
76:4
Sahih International
Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.
76:5
Sahih International
Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kafur,
76:6
Sahih International
A spring of which the [righteous] servants of Allah will drink; they will make it gush forth in force [and abundance].
76:7
Sahih International
They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.
76:8
Sahih International
And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,
76:9
Sahih International
[Saying], "We feed you only for the countenance of Allah . We wish not from you reward or gratitude.
76:10
Sahih International
Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."
76:11
Sahih International
So Allah will protect them from the evil of that Day and give them radiance and happiness
76:12
Sahih International
And will reward them for what they patiently endured [with] a garden [in Paradise] and silk [garments].
76:13
Sahih International
[They will be] reclining therein on adorned couches. They will not see therein any [burning] sun or [freezing] cold.
76:14
Sahih International
And near above them are its shades, and its [fruit] to be picked will be lowered in compliance.
76:15
Sahih International
And there will be circulated among them vessels of silver and cups having been [created] clear [as glass],
76:16

Clear glasses [made] from silver of which they have determined the measure.
76:17
Sahih International
And they will be given to drink a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of ginger
76:18
Sahih International
[From] a fountain within Paradise named Salsabeel.
76:19
Sahih International
There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them [as beautiful as] scattered pearls.
76:20
Sahih International
And when you look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion.
76:21
Sahih International
Upon the inhabitants will be green garments of fine silk and brocade. And they will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.
76:22
Sahih International
[And it will be said], "Indeed, this is for you a reward, and your effort has been appreciated."
76:23
Sahih International
Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Qur'an progressively.
76:24
Sahih International
So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever].
76:25
Sahih International
And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening
76:26
Sahih International
And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night.
76:27
Sahih International
Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day.
76:28
Sahih International
We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration.
76:29

Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way.
76:30

And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
76:31

He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment.
