بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
- بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ﴿١﴾
Recite in the name of your Lord who created -
- خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ﴿٢﴾
Created man from a clinging substance.
- ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ ﴿٣﴾
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

Who taught by the pen -
- عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ﴿٥﴾
Taught man that which he knew not.
- كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
- أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ ﴿٧﴾
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
- إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ ﴿٨﴾
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
- أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
Have you seen the one who forbids
- عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٠﴾
A servant when he prays?
- أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
- أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ ﴿١٢﴾
Or enjoins righteousness?
- أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٣﴾
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
- أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ﴿١٤﴾
Does he not know that Allah sees?
- كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ﴿١٥﴾
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
- نَاصِيَةٍ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ﴿١٦﴾
A lying, sinning forelock.
- فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾
Then let him call his associates;
- سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ﴿١٨﴾
We will call the angels of Hell.
- كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ﴿١٩﴾
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
