5. Suratu Maryam (xix), v. 59 : " When the signs of 



the God of Mercy were rehearsed to them, they 

 bowed them down worshipping and weeping." 



6. Siirat-ul-Hajj (xxii), v. 19 : " Whom Grod shall disgrace 



there shall be none to honour. Grod doth that 

 which pleaseth Him." 7 



7. Surat-ul-Furqan (xxv), v. 61 : " When it is said 



to them, ' Bow down before the Grod of Mercy,' 

 they say c Who is the God of Mercy ? Shall we bow 

 down to what thou biddest ?' and they fly from 

 Thee the more." 



8. Surat-un-Naml (xxvii), v. 26 : " God ! there is no 



God but He ! the Lord of the glorious throne." 

 Some, however, say that the preceding verse is the 

 Ayat-i-Sijda. 



9. Surat-us-Sijda (xxxii), v. 15 : " They only believe 



in our signs, who, when mention is made of them, 

 fall down in adoration, and celebrate the praise of 

 their Lord, and are not puffed up with disdain." 



10. Surat-us-Sad (xxxviii), v. 24 : "So we forgave 



him that (his sin) ; and truly he shall have a high 

 rank with Us ; and an excellent retreat (in Para- 

 dise)." Some, however, consider that the Sijda 

 should be made after the words of the preceding 

 verse : " David perceived that We had tried him ; 

 so he asked pardon of his Lord, and fell down, and 

 bowed himself and repented." 



11. Surat-ul-Fuzzilat (xli), v. 38 : " They who are with 



thy Lord do celebrate His praises night and day 

 and cease not." 



7 Imam Shafa'i substitutes for the 19th verse the 76th : " Believers ! 

 bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord and work righte- 

 ousness that you may fare well."
