Arabic Sajedahs
27:25,26 – an-Naml - the Ant
Note: The Queen of Sheba story, where explanations are given to show that sun worship
is wrong. Admonition to those who would be fooled by the abundance of material
wealth and power that Sheba had. Ignorance will yield richness in material power but
poverty in spirit. Even vast miracles like God gave Moses (as) are tokens. Sensual
miracles detract from reality, and are a snare to true belief in God, Whom is hidden.
1.
Ta. Sin.
These are revelations of the Qur'an and a Scripture that maketh plain;
2.
A guidance and good tidings for believers
3.
Who establish worship and pay the poor due and are sure of the Hereafter.
4.
oh! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their works fair
seeming unto them so that they are all astray.
5.
Those are they for whom is the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be
the greatest losers.
6.
Lo! as for thee (Muhammad), thou verily receivest the Quran from the presence of One
Wise, Aware.
7.
(Remember) when Moses said unto his household: Lo! I spy afar off a fire; I will bring
you tidings thence, or bring to you a borrowed flame that ye may warm yourselves.
8.
But when he reached it, he was called, saying: Blessed is whosoever is in the fire and
whosoever is round about it! And glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!
9.
O Moses! Lo! it is I, Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
10.
And throw down thy staff! But when he saw it writhing as it were a demon, he turned to
flee headlong; (but it was said unto him): O Moses! Fear not! Lo! the emissaries fear
not in My presence,
11.
Save him who hath done wrong and afterward hath changed evil for good. And lo! I am
Forgiving, Merciful.
12.
And put thy hand into the bosom of thy robe, it will come forth white but unhurt. (This
will be one) among name tokens unto Pharaoh and his people. Lo! they were ever evil
living folk.
13.
But when Our tokens came unto them, plain to see, they said: This is mere magic,
14.
And they denied them, though their souls acknowledged them, for spite and arrogance.
Then see the nature of the consequence for the wrong-doers!
15.
And We verily gave knowledge unto David and Solomon, and they said: Praise be to
Allah, Who hath preferred us above many of His believing slaves!
16.
And Solomon was David's heir. And he said: O mankind! Lo! we have been taught the
language of birds, and have been given (abundance) of all things. This surely is evident
favor.
17.
And there were gathered together unto Solomon his armies of the jinn and humankind,
and of the birds, and they were set in battle order;
18.
Till, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant exclaimed: O ants! Enter your
dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving.
19.
And (Solomon) smiled, laughing at her speech, and said: My Lord, arouse me to be
thankful for Thy favor wherewith Thou hast favored me and my parents, and to do good
that shall be pleasing unto
Thee, and include me in (the number of) Thy righteous slaves.
20.
And he sought among the birds and said: How is it that I see not the hoopoe, or is he
among the absent?
21.
I verily will punish him with hard punishment or I verily will slay him, or he verily shall
bring me a plain excuse.
22.
But he was not long in coming, and he said: I have found out (a thing) that thou
apprehendest not, and I come unto thee from Sheba with sure tidings.
23.
Lo! I found a woman ruling over them, and she hath been given (abundance) of all things,
and hers is a mighty throne.
24.
I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah; and Satan maketh their
works fair seeming unto them, and debarreth them from the way (of Truth), so that they
go not aright:
25.
an laa yasjudo li 'Allaah al-ladhe yukhrij al- khab fe as-samaawaat wa al- 'ard. wa
ya’alam maa tukhfun, wa maa tu’linun
then not prostrate/submit/worship in Allaah, the one bringing/emerge the hidden/unseen
in the heavens and the earth, and knows/understands (is) hidden/sectretedand what is
proclaimed/obvious.
So that they worship not Allah, Who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the
earth, and knoweth what ye hide and what ye proclaim,
26.
Allaahu laa ilaaha illa huw Rabbu ul-‘arsh al-azheem - sajedah - sajedah
Allaahu – no god except Him Lord of the Throne/seat the tremendous/powerful
Allah; there is no God save Him, the Lord of the tremendous Throne. (Prostration)
