'Aza'im: Difference between revisions

''‘Aza’im'' or ''‘Aza’im as-Sujud'' refers to the four suras of as-Sajdah, Fussilat, an-Najm and al-‘Alaq, each of which contains a verse with obligatory prostration. In some sources, Sura Luqman is mentioned instead of Sura Fussilat. The word “''‘aza’im''” is the plural of “''‘azima''” and literally means “a serious will to do something”. It also means the duties that God has made obligatory. Therefore, the mentioned suras, in which the verses with obligatory prostration are mentioned, are called “''‘aza’im''”.
