(The Clot) - سورة العلق

Recite in the name of your Lord who created -






Created man from a clinging substance.






Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -







Who taught by the pen -






Taught man that which he knew not.






No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.






Indeed, to your Lord is the return.






Have you seen the one who forbids






A servant when he prays?






Have you seen if he is upon guidance






Or enjoins righteousness?






Have you seen if he denies and turns away -






Does he not know that Allah sees?






No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -






A lying, sinning forelock.






Then let him call his associates;







We will call the angels of Hell.





No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah ].
