English - Chapter 96 - Al-Alaq

Recite in the name of your Lord Who created

created man from a clot of congealed blood

Recite: and your Lord is Most Generous

Who taught by the pen

taught man what he did not know

for he believes himself to be self-sufficient

Surely to your Lord is your return

Did you see him who forbids

a servant (of Allah) when he prays

Did you consider: what if he is on the Right Way

and enjoins piety

Did you consider: what if he gives the lie (to the Truth) and turns away (from it)

Does he not know that Allah sees everything

No indeed; if he does not desist, We shall drag him by the forelock

by the lying forelock steeped in sin

So let him summon his helpmates

We too shall summon the guards of Hell

No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord)
