Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, |
|
| 2 |
Createth man from a clot. |

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). |
