96 - The Clot - Al-`Alaq
:1
Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
:2
Createth man from a clot.
:3
Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,
:4
Who teacheth by the pen,
:5
Teacheth man that which he knew not.
:6
Nay, but verily man is rebellious
:7
That he thinketh himself independent!
:8
Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
:9
Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth
:10
A slave when he prayeth?
:11
Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah)
:12
Or enjoineth piety?
:13
Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward?
:14
Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?
:15
Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -
:16
The lying, sinful forelock -
:17
Then let him call upon his henchmen!
:18
We will call the guards of hell.
:19
Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).
