96 The Clot -Al-'Alaq

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[96.1] Read (Prophet Muhammad) in the Name of your Lord who created,

[96.2] created the human from a (blood) clot.

[96.3] Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous,

[96.4] who taught by the pen,

[96.5] taught the human what he did not know.

[96.6] Indeed, surely the human is very insolent

[96.7] that he sees himself sufficed.

[96.8] Indeed, to your Lord is the returning.

[96.9] What do you think? Have you seen he who forbids

[96.10] a worshiper when he prays.

[96.11] Have you seen if he was upon guidance

[96.12] or orders piety?

[96.13] What do you think? Have you seen if he belies and turns away,

[96.14] does he not know that Allah sees?

[96.15] Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock,

[96.16] a lying, sinful forelock.

[96.17] So, let him call upon his way!

[96.18] We, will call the Zabania (the harsh angels of Hell).

[96.19] No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah).
