96. Surah Al-'Alaq

Recite in the name of your Lord who created

— Saheeh International

Created man from a clinging substance.

— Saheeh International

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

— Saheeh International

Who taught by the pen

— Saheeh International

Taught man that which he knew not.

— Saheeh International

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

— Saheeh International

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

— Saheeh International

Have you seen the one who forbids

— Saheeh International

A servant when he prays?

— Saheeh International

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

— Saheeh International

Or enjoins righteousness?

— Saheeh International

Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

— Saheeh International

Does he not know that Allāh sees?

— Saheeh International

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock1

— Saheeh International

A lying, sinning forelock.

— Saheeh International

Then let him call his associates;

— Saheeh International

We will call the angels of Hell.1

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International
