سورةالعلق {٩٦} 96. AL-´ALAQ
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ {١} 1. (Muhammad), read in the name of your Lord who created (all things).
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ {٢} 2. He created man from a clot of blood.
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ {٣} 3. Recite! Your Lord is the most Honorable One,
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ {٤} 4. who, by the pen, taught the human being:
عَلَّمَ الْإِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ {٥} 5. He taught the human being what he did not know.
كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ {٦} 6. Despite this, the human being still tends to rebel
أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ {٧} 7. because he thinks that he is independent.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ {٨} 8. However, (all things) will return to your Lord.
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ {٩} 9. Have you seen the one who prohibits
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ {١٠} 10. a servant of Ours from prayer?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ {١١} 11. What will happen if the praying person is rightly guided
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ {١٢} 12. or if he commands others to maintain piety!?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ {١٣} 13. What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!?
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ {١٤} 14. Does he not realize that God sees him?
كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ {١٥} 15. Let him know that if he does not desist, We shall certainly drag him by his forelocks,
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ {١٦} 16. his lying sinful forelock.
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ {١٧} 17. Let him call on his associates for help
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ {١٨} 18. and We too will call the stern and angry keepers of hell.
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ ۩ {١٩} 19. (Muhammad), never yield to him! Prostrate yourself and try to come closer to God.
