96. al-`Alaq: The Clot

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).
