English - Chapter 96 - Al-Alaq

Recite: In the Name of thy Lord who created

created Man of a blood-clot

Recite: And thy Lord is the Most Generous

who taught by the Pen

taught Man that he knew not

No indeed; surely Man waxes insolent

for he thinks himself self-sufficient

Surely unto thy Lord is the Returning

What thinkest thou? He who forbids

a servant when he prays

What thinkest thou? If he were upon guidance

What thinkest thou? If he cries lies, and turns away

Did he not know that God sees

No indeed; surely, if he gives not over, We shall seize him by the forelock

a lying, sinful forelock

So let him call on his concourse

We shall call on the guards of Hell

No indeed; do thou not obey him, and bow thyself, and draw nigh
