The meaning of SuJuD acknowledges The Quran
The Arabic word 'sujud' (root: Siin-Jiim-Dal) is commonly taken to mean 'prostration', however there are differences between translators and also amongst occurrences within translations. In the following article, all occurrences of this specific word in The Quran were analysed and information extracted, in order to gain a better understanding. Sometimes significant points will be made, but also small observations which by themselves may not provide definitive insight, but taken together will hopefully provide a coherent view. Whilst reading this article, it is recommended to open a new window in order to lookup and study each verse cited.
For the purposes of accuracy/clarity, sometimes when translations are shown in this article: SJD = singular, and all other forms are plural. Direct translations are shown in blue font.
Abbreviations:
AQ = al quran (the reading)
CAD = Classical Arabic Dictionaries
From Project Root List:
Siin-Jiim-Dal = lowly, humble, submissive, worship, adore, prostrate, make obeisance, lower/bend oneself down towards the ground, lower the head, to salute/honour
/magnify, to pay respect, to stand up, to look continuedly and tranquily.
From the Lane's Lexicon entry:
Synonymous with Kha-Daad-Ayn which means lowly/humble/submissive.
"The SuJuD of inanimate things to God we understand, in the Kuran, as denoting obedience to that whereto they are made subservient"
"the ship SJD/bends/inclines by the influence of the wind".
For 55:6 says "the herbs and the trees humbly submit to His will".
A word sometimes used along with 'sujud' is "ruku' (root: Ra-Kaf-Ayn) which can mean: bowed, bent, incline, humility, humble yourself, lower the head.
Note, the preposition "li" means "for/to" or "belonging to" in Arabic,
