Al-Alaq - Abdul Majid

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

[96.1] : Recite thou in the name of thy Lord Who hath created -

[96.2] : Hath created man from a clot!

[96.3] : Recite thou: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,

[96.4] : Who hath taught mankind by the pen -

[96.5] : Hath taught man that which he knew not.

[96.6] : By no means: Verily man exorbitateth.

[96.7] : As he bethinkest himself selfsufficient.

[96.8] : Verily Unto thy Lord is the return.

[96.9] : Bethinkest thou him who forbiddeth,

[96.10] : A bondman of Ours when he prayeth *

[96.11] : Bethinkest thou, if he is himself guided,

[96.12] : Or he commandeth piety?

[96.13] : Bethinkest thou, if he belieth and turneth away?

[96.14] : Knoweth he not that Allah beholdeth?

[96.15] : By no means! If he desist not We shall seize and deal him by the forelock -

[96.16] : A forelock, lying, sinning.

[96.17] : Then, let him call his assembly,

[96.18] : We also shall call the infernal guards.

[96.19] : By no means! Obey not thou him. Continue to adore, and continue to draw nigh.
