| | Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri rendition of Surah The Clot, Read(al-`Alaq)
--- |
|---|
| 96:1 | | (O Beloved!) Read (commencing) with the Name of Allah, Who has created (everything) |
| 96:2 | | He created man from a hanging mass (clinging) like a leech (to the mother’s womb) |
| 96:3 | | Read, and your Lord is Most Generous |
| 96:4 | | Who taught man (reading and writing) by the pen |
| 96:5 | | Who (besides that) taught man (all that) which he did not know. Or Who imparted to (the most eminent of) mankind (the chosen Prophet Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him] without using any pen) the whole knowledge that he was not aware of before |
| 96:6 | | (But) the fact is that (the disobedient) man rebels |
| 96:7 | | For the reason that (apparently) he finds himself self-sufficient (in the world) |
| 96:8 | | Surely, (every man) has to return to your Lord |
| 96:9 | | Have you seen him who prevents |
| 96:10 | | The servant (of Allah) when he prays? Or The (beloved and the exalted) servant of Allah (Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) when he offers Prayers |
| 96:11 | | Well, imagine! If he had been rightly guided |
| 96:12 | | Or if he had commanded (the people) to be pious (how beneficial it would have been) |
| 96:13 | | But see now when he has rejected (the true Din [Religion]) and has turned away (from you, what torment is he going to face? |
| 96:14 | | Does he not know that Allah monitors (minutely all his conduct) |
| 96:15 | | Beware! If he does not desist (from the denigration of the Holy Prophet [blessings and peace be upon him] and antagonism against the true Din [Religion]), We shall certainly grab his forehead and drag him by the forelock |
| 96:16 | | His lying (and) sinful forehead |
| 96:17 | | Then let him call his companions (for help) |
| 96:18 | | We too shall soon call (Our) guards (the angels appointed to inflict the punishment of Hell) |
| 96:19 | | No indeed! Do not pay any heed to his doings and, (O Esteemed Beloved,) persist in prostration and keep drawing near (to Us more and more) |
