96:1  Read with the name of your Lord Who created

96:2  Created man from a clot

96:3  Read, and your Lord only is the Most Beneficent

96:4  The One Who taught to write with the pen

96:5  The One Who taught man all what he did not know

96:6  Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious

96:7  As he considers himself independent

96:8  Indeed towards your Lord only is the return

96:9  What is your opinion – regarding him who forbids

96:10  A bondman when he offers the prayer

96:11  What is your opinion – if he were upon guidance

96:12  He would enjoin piety, so how good it would be

96:13  What is your opinion – if he denies and turns away, how wretched will be his state

96:14  Did he not realise that Allah is watching

96:15  Yes certainly, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock

96:16  A forelock that lies, is sinful

96:17  So let him now call his gang

96:18  We will now call the guards

96:19  Yes indeed; do not listen to him - and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14
