32. Surah As-Sajdah (the 32nd chapter of the Quran) translates directly to "The Prostration." Consisting of 30 verses, it is a highly focused, spiritually intense chapter from the Meccan era. It is named after verse 15, which describes the sincere believers who immediately fall into physical prostration upon hearing the verses of God—a moment observed by Muslims around the world as a mandatory ritual prostration (Sajdah al-Tilawah) during its recitation.
