READ IN THE name of your Lord who created,
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ

Created man from an embryo;
ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ
Ahmed Ali
Read, for your Lord is most beneficent,
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ
Ahmed Ali
Who taught by the pen,
عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
Ahmed Ali
Taught man what he did not know.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
And yet, but yet man is rebellious,
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
For he thinks he is sufficient in himself.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
Surely your returning is to your Lord.
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
Have you seen him who restrains
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
A votary when he turns to his devotions?
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
Have you thought, if he had been on guidance
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
Or had enjoined piety, (it would have been better)?
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Ahmed Ali
Have you thought that if he denies and turns away,
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
Ahmed Ali
Does he not know that God sees?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ
Ahmed Ali
And yet indeed if he does not desist We shall drag him by the forelock,
نَاصِيَةٍۢ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
By the lying, the sinful forelock.
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ
Ahmed Ali
So let him call his associates,
سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ
Ahmed Ali
We shall call the guards of Hell.
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩
Ahmed Ali
Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord).
