96. Al-Alaq (Read)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

96:1	Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
96:2	He created man from a clot.
96:3	Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
96:4	Who taught (to write) with the pen
96:5	Taught man what he knew not.
96:6	Nay! man is most surely inordinate,
96:7	Because he sees himself free from want.
96:8	Surely to your Lord is the return.
96:9	Have you seen him who forbids
96:10	A servant when he prays?
96:11	Have you considered if he were on the right way,
96:12	Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
96:13	Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
96:14	Does he not know that Allah does see?
96:15	Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
96:16	A lying, sinful forehead.
96:17	Then let him summon his council,
96:18	We too would summon the braves of the army.
96:19	Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah). < Back       Chapters       Forward >
