ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ﴿١﴾

Read! In the Name of your Lord Who created.

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ﴿٢﴾

He has created man from a clot.

ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ ﴿٣﴾

Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.

ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ ﴿٤﴾

Who has taught by the pen.

عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ﴿٥﴾

He has taught man that which he knew not.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾

Nay! Verily, man does transgress.

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ ﴿٧﴾

Because he considers himself self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ ﴿٨﴾

Surely, unto your Lord is the return.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Have you seen him who prevents

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٠﴾

A servant when he prays

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

Have you seen if he is on the guidance

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ ﴿١٢﴾

Or enjoins Taqwa

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٣﴾

Have you seen if he denies and turns away

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Knows he not that Allah sees

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ﴿١٥﴾

Nay! If he ceases not, We will scorch his forehead --

نَاصِيَةٍۢ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۢ ﴿١٦﴾

A lying, sinful forehead!

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾

Then let him call upon his council.

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ﴿١٨﴾

We will call out the guards of Hell!

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ ﴿١٩﴾

Nay! Do not obey him. Fall prostrate and draw near (to Allah)!
