Ayat e Sajda (Verse of Prostration)

Arabic Script

سَجَدَ وَجْهُهُ لِلَّذِيْ فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيْفًا ۖ وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيْرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُوْنَ

English Translation

“His face fell down in prostration before the One who created the heavens and the earth, willingly and subserviently. And there is no creature in the earth nor a bird that flies with its two wings except that they are nations like you. We have not omitted anything from the Book, and then to their Lord they will be gathered.”
