# Translation Ayah
1 Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
2 Createth man from a clot. خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
3 Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ
4 Who teacheth by the pen, الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
5 Teacheth man that which he knew not. عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
6 Nay, but verily man is rebellious كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَى
7 That he thinketh himself independent! أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَى
8 Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَى
9 Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى
10 A slave when he prayeth? عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى
11 Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى
12 Or enjoineth piety? أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى
13 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah´s guidance) and is froward? أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
14 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى
15 Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock - كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ
16 The lying, sinful forelock - نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
17 Then let him call upon his henchmen! فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَه
18 We will call the guards of hell. سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
19 Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah). كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ
