English - Chapter 96 - Al-Alaq

Read! In the name of your Lord, who has created (everything)

Read! Your Lord is the Generous

who has taught (writing) by the pen

taught human what it did not know

Nay! Surely, human does transgress

because it considers itself self-sufficient

surely, to your Lord is the return

Have you seen him (Abu Jahl) who prevents

a servant (Muhammad) from offering prays

Have you seen if he (Muhammad) is on the guidance (of Allah)

or enjoins piety

Have you seen if he (Abu Jahl) denies (truth) and turn away

Does he (Abu Jahl) not know that Allah sees (everything)

Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) does not stop, We will catch him by the forelock

a lying, sinful forelock

So let him call his council (of help)

We will call out the guards of hell (to deal with him)

Nay! (O Muhammad)! Don’t obey him (Abu Jahl). Prostrate and draw near (to Allah)
