96 - The Clot

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

 
1Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
 
2He created man from a clot.
 
4Who taught (to write) with the pen
 
5Taught man what he knew not.
 
7Because he sees himself free from want.
 
8Surely to your Lord is the return.
 
9Have you seen him who forbids
 
10A servant when he prays?
 
11Have you considered if he were on the right way,
 
12Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
 
13Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
 
14Does he not know that Allah does see?
 
15Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
 
16A lying, sinful forehead.
 
17Then let him summon his council,
 
18We too would.summon the braves of the army.
 
19Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah).
