# Translation Ayah
1 Read with the name of your Lord Who created, اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
2 Created man from a clot. خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
3 Read, and your Lord only is the Most Beneficent, اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ
4 The One Who taught to write with the pen. الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
5 The One Who taught man all what he did not know. عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
6 Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious. كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَى
7 As he considers himself independent! أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَى
8 Indeed towards your Lord only is the return. إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَى
9 What is your opinion – regarding him who forbids – أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى
10 A bondman when he offers the prayer? عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى
11 What is your opinion – if he were upon guidance, أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى
12 He would enjoin piety, so how good it would be! أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى
13 What is your opinion – if he denies and turns away, how wretched will be his state! أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
14 Did he not realise that Allah is watching? أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى
15 Yes certainly, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock. كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ
16 A forelock that lies, is sinful. نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
17 So let him now call his gang! فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَه
18 We will now call the guards! سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
19 Yes indeed; do not listen to him – and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14) كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ
