Al-Alaq
/ The Clot |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
Proclaim! (or Read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher Who created |
2 |
Created man out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: |
3 |
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful |
4 |
He Who taught (the use of) the Pen |
5 |
Taught man that which he knew not. |
6 |
Nay but man doth transgress all bounds |
7 |
In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient. |
8 |
Verily to thy Lord is the return (of all). |
9 |
Seest thou one who forbids. |
10 |
A votary when he (turns) to pray? |
11 |
Seest thou if He is on (the road of) Guidance? |
12 |
Or enjoins Righteousness? |
13 |
Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? |
14 |
Knoweth he not that Allah doth see? |
15 |
Let him beware! If he desist not We will drag him by the forelock |
16 |
A lying sinful forelock! |
17 |
Then let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades): |
18 |
We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! |
19 |
Nay heed him not: but bow down in adoration and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)! |
