English - Chapter 96 - Al-Alaq

Recite in the name of your Lord Who created

He created man from something that clings and hangs (like a leech)

Recite, and your Lord is the Most Honourable

Who taught with the pen

He taught man that which he did not know

No, man certainly rebels

because he sees himself independent

Have you seen him who forbids

when a servant of God worships

Have you seen, if he is on guidance

or enjoins guarding (against evil)

Have you seen, if he denies and turns (his back)

did he not know that God certainly sees

No, if he does not stop, We will drag him, seizing him by his forelock

the denying, sinful forelock

So let him call his council

We will call the soldiers (guards of hell)

No, do not obey him but prostrate and draw near (to God)
