Al-Alaq

96:1

Recite in the name of your Lord who created -

96:2

Created man from a clinging substance.

96:3

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

96:4

Who taught by the pen -

96:5

Taught man that which he knew not.

96:6

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

96:7

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

96:8

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

96:9

Have you seen the one who forbids

96:10

A servant when he prays?

96:11

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

96:12

Or enjoins righteousness?

96:13

Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

96:14

Does he not know that Allah sees?

96:15

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -

96:16

A lying, sinning forelock.

96:17

Then let him call his associates;

96:18

We will call the angels of Hell.

96:19

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
