32: (Al-Sajdah)- Prostration

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

30: (Al-Sajdah)- Prostration

(The Adoration)

No. 32 (Revealed at Mecca)

30 Verses in 3 Sections

Sūra al-Sajda (Arabic: سورة السجدة) or Alif-Lām-Mīm al-Sajda (Arabic: ألـــم السجدة) or Alif-Lām-Mīm al-Tanzīl (Arabic: ألـــم تنزيل), is the thirty second surah of the quran. It is a makki sura located in the twenty first thereof.

Since it is obligatory to prostrate or go to sajda upon hearing its verse fifteen, it came to be called "al-Sajda" (prostration). Themes of the sura include resurrection, the creation of the being in six periods of time, and the creation of the humans from soil. It warns deniers of resurrections about punishment, and it notes that will receive a reward unimaginable by any human being.

Verses sixteen and eighteen of the sura were revealed aboutamir al-mu'minin (a) . About the virtues of reciting the sura, it is said that a person who recites it on eves of fridays will receive the record of hid actions with his right hand, will be forgiven, and will be a friend of muhammed (s)  and his family.

It was called Surat Al-Sajdah because of the description of the believers who worship Allah and praise Him when they hear the verses of the Great Qur'an: {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.} (Al-Sajdah: 15)
