96:1
Recite in the Name of thy Lord Who created.
96:2
He created the human being from a clot.
96:3
Recite: Thy Lord
is
the Most Generous,
96:4
He Who taught by the pen.
96:5
He taught the human being what he knows not.
96:6
No indeed! The human being is, truly, defiant.
96:7
He considered himself self-sufficient.
96:8
Truly, to thy Lord
is
the returning.
96:9
Hast thou thyself considered he who prohibits
96:10
a servant when he invoked blessings?
96:11
Hast thou considered if he had been on guidance
96:12
or commanded God-consciousness?
96:13
Hast thou considered if he denied and turned away?
96:14
Knows he not that God sees?
96:15
No indeed! Truly, if he refrains himself not, We will, surely, lay hold of him by the forelock,
96:16
a lying, inequitable forelock.
96:17
And let him call to his conclave.
96:18
We will call to the guards of hell.
96:19
No indeed! Truly, obey thou him not but prostrate thyself to God and be near
to Him
