# Translation Ayah
1 Recite in the name of your Lord Who created, اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
2 created man from a clot of congealed blood. خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
3 Recite: and your Lord is Most Generous, اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ
4 Who taught by the pen, الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
5 taught man what he did not know. عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
6 Nay, surely man transgresses; كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَى
7 for he believes himself to be self-sufficient. أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَى
8 Surely to your Lord is your return. إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَى
9 Did you see him who forbids أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى
10 a servant (of Allah) when he prays? عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى
11 Did you consider: what if he is on the Right Way, أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى
12 and enjoins piety? أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى
13 Did you consider: what if he gives the lie (to the Truth) and turns away (from it)? أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
14 Does he not know that Allah sees everything? أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى
15 No indeed; if he does not desist, We shall drag him by the forelock; كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ
16 by the lying forelock steeped in sin. نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
17 So let him summon his helpmates; فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَه
18 We too shall summon the guards of Hell. سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
19 No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord). كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ
