1
ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ١
The Clear Quran
Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created—
2
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ٢
The Clear Quran
created humans from a clinging clot.
3
ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ٣
The Clear Quran
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
4
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ٤
The Clear Quran
Who taught by the pen—
5
عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ٥
The Clear Quran
taught humanity what they knew not.
6
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ٦
The Clear Quran
Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds
7
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ٧
The Clear Quran
once they think they are self-sufficient.
8
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ٨
The Clear Quran
˹But˺ surely to your Lord is the return ˹of all˺.
9
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ٩
The Clear Quran
Have you seen the man who prevents
10
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ١٠
The Clear Quran
a servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying?
11
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ١١
The Clear Quran
What if this ˹servant˺ is ˹rightly˺ guided,
12
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ١٢
The Clear Quran
or encourages righteousness?
13
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ١٣
The Clear Quran
What if that ˹man˺ persists in denial and turns away?
14
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ١٤
The Clear Quran
Does he not know that Allah sees ˹all˺?
15
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ١٥
The Clear Quran
But no! If he does not desist, We will certainly drag him by the forelock—
16
نَاصِيَةٍ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ١٦
The Clear Quran
a lying, sinful forelock.
17
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ١٧
The Clear Quran
So let him call his associates.
18
سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ١٨
The Clear Quran
We will call the wardens of Hell.
19
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩۩١٩
The Clear Quran
Again, no! Never obey him ˹O Prophet˺! Rather, ˹continue to˺ prostrate and draw near ˹to Allah˺.
