Surah 96. Al-Alaq (The Clot, Read) [Makka]
96:1 Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
96:2 Createth man from a clot.
96:3 Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,
96:4 Who teacheth by the pen,
96:5 Teacheth man that which he knew not.
96:6 Nay, but verily man is rebellious
96:7 That he thinketh himself independent!
96:8 Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
96:9 Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth
96:10 A slave when he prayeth?
96:11 Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah)
96:12 Or enjoineth piety?
96:13 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward?
96:14 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?
96:15 Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -
96:16 The lying, sinful forelock -
96:17 Then let him call upon his henchmen!
96:18 We will call the guards of hell.
96:19 Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).
