Surah Al-‘Alaq – The Clot

96:1
Recite in the name of your Lord who created –

96:2
Created man from a clinging substance.

96:3
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous –

96:4
Who taught by the pen –

96:5
Taught man that which he knew not.

96:6
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

96:7
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

96:8
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

96:9
Have you seen the one who forbids

96:10
A servant when he prays?

96:11
Have you seen if he is upon guidance

96:12
Or enjoins righteousness?

96:13
Have you seen if he denies and turns away –

96:14
Does he not know that Allah sees?

96:15
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock –

96:16
A lying, sinning forelock.

96:17
Then let him call his associates;

96:18
We will call the angels of Hell.

96:19
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah ].
