Surah Al Alaq

Quran Chapter 96

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1Read, in the name of your Lord who created.

2Created man from a clinging clot.

3Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous.

4He who taught by the pen.

5Taught man what he knew not.

6Indeed, man transgresses.

7When he sees himself as self-sufficient.

8Yet, to your Lord is the return.

9Did you see the one who forbids?

10A servant when he prays?

11Did you see if he is upon guidance?

12Or advocates righteousness?

13Didn’t you see how he denies and turns away?

14Doesn’t he know that God sees?

15No indeed! If he does not desist, We will drag him by the forelock.

16A lying, sinful forelock.

17Let him call his helpers.

18We will call the Infernal Guards.

19No! Don’t obey him, but instead, prostrate and draw close.
