English - Chapter 96 - Al-Alaq

Recite thou in the name of thy Lord Who hath created

Hath created man from a clot

Recite thou: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous

Who hath taught mankind by the pen

Hath taught man that which he knew not

By no means: Verily man exorbitateth

As he bethinkest himself selfsufficient

Verily Unto thy Lord is the return

A bondman of Ours when he prayeth

Bethinkest thou, if he is himself guided

Or he commandeth piety

Bethinkest thou, if he belieth and turneth away

Knoweth he not that Allah beholdeth

By no means! If he desist not We shall seize and deal him by the forelock

A forelock, lying, sinning

Then, let him call his assembly

We also shall call the infernal guards

By no means! Obey not thou him. Continue to adore, and continue to draw nigh
