اِقۡرَاۡ بِاسۡمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ ۚ ١
96:1
Recite in the name of your Lord who created -
خَلَقَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ ۚ ٢
96:2
Created man from a clinging substance.
اِقۡرَاۡ وَرَبُّكَ الۡاَكۡرَمُ ۙ ٣
96:3
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
الَّذِىۡ عَلَّمَ بِالۡقَلَمِ ۙ ٤
96:4
Who taught by the pen -
عَلَّمَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ ؕ ٥
96:5
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لَيَطۡغٰى ٓ ۙ ٦
96:6
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
اَنۡ رَّاٰهُ اسۡتَغۡنٰى ؕ ٧
96:7
Because he sees himself independent.
اِنَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ الرُّجۡعٰى ؕ ٨
96:8
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
اَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِىۡ يَنۡهٰى ۙ ٩
96:9
Have you seen the one who forbids
عَبۡدًا اِذَا صَلّٰى ؕ ١٠
96:10
A servant when he prays?
اَرَءَيۡتَ اِنۡ كَانَ عَلَى الۡهُدٰى ۙ ١١
96:11
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
اَوۡ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقۡوٰى ؕ ١٢
96:12
Or enjoins righteousness?
اَرَءَيۡتَ اِنۡ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰى ؕ ١٣
96:13
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
اَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرٰى ؕ ١٤
96:14
Does he not know that Allah sees?
كَلَّا لَئِنۡ لَّمۡ يَنۡتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ ۙ ١٥
96:15
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ۚ ١٦
96:16
A lying, sinful forelock.
فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهٗ ۙ ١٧
96:17
Then let him call upon his associates [to aid him];
سَنَدۡعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ ؕ ١٨
96:18
We will call the angels of Hell [to deal with him].
كَلَّا ۖ لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَاسۡجُدۡ وَاقۡتَرِبۡ ٪ ١٩
96:19
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
