Surah The Clot [Al-Alaq] in English
ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ﴿١﴾
Read with the name of your Lord Who created,
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ﴿٢﴾
Created man from a clot.
ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ ﴿٣﴾
Read, and your Lord only is the Most Beneficent,
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ ﴿٤﴾
The One Who taught to write with the pen.
عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ﴿٥﴾
The One Who taught man all what he did not know.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾
Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious.
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ ﴿٧﴾
As he considers himself independent!
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ ﴿٨﴾
Indeed towards your Lord only is the return.
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
What is your opinion – regarding him who forbids –
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٠﴾
A bondman when he offers the prayer?
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾
What is your opinion – if he were upon guidance,
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ ﴿١٢﴾
He would enjoin piety, so how good it would be!
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٣﴾
What is your opinion – if he denies and turns away, how wretched will be his state!
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ﴿١٤﴾
Did he not realise that Allah is watching?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ﴿١٥﴾
Yes certainly, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock.
نَاصِيَةٍۢ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۢ ﴿١٦﴾
A forelock that lies, is sinful.
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾
So let him now call his gang!
سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ﴿١٨﴾
We will now call the guards!
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ ﴿١٩﴾
Yes indeed; do not listen to him – and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14)
