سورة العلق

ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ

Recite in the name of your Lord who created

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ

Created man from a clinging substance

ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous

ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ

Who taught by the pen

عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ

Taught man that which he knew not

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ

Because he sees himself self-sufficient

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ

Indeed, to your Lord is the return

أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡهَىٰ

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ

A servant when he prays

أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ

Or enjoins righteousness

أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

Have you seen if he denies and turns away

أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

Does he not know that Allah sees

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ

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

نَاصِيَةٖ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٖ

A lying, sinning forelock

فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُۥ

Then let him call his associates

سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ

We will call the angels of Hell

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩

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