For Which Verses Should We Make Sajdah al- Tilaawah?

The locations of these verses are marked in the Arabic text of the Quran (mus-haf) with a symbol in the shape of a mihrab. The fifteen verses are:

Surely those who are with your Lord (the angels) are never too proud to perform acts of worship to Him, but they glorify His Praise and prostrate before Him. (Quran 7:206)

And unto Allah (Alone) falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and in the afternoons. (Quran 13:15)

Oh you who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord and do good that you may be successful. (Quran 22:77) *This verse is disputed as a verse of sajdah by some scholars. There are unconfirmed reports that early Muslims did make sujood at this verse, but

others cite a lack of evidence. So some scholars count it while others do not.
And when it is said to them: ‘Prostrate to the Most Beneficent (Allah)!’ They say, ‘And what is the Most Beneficent? Shall we fall down in prostration to that which you (O Muhammad) command us?’ And it increases in them only aversion.”(Quran 25:60)
Satan has barred them from Allah’s way, so that they do not worship (prostrate before) Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. (Quran 27:25)

And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostrate to Him Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.” (Quran 41:37)
