96:1 |
|
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
|
96:2 |
|
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
|
96:3 |
|
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
|
96:4 |
|
He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
|
96:5 |
|
Taught man that which he knew not.
|
96:6 |
|
Day, but man doth transgress all bounds,
|
96:7 |
|
In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
|
96:8 |
|
Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
|
96:9 |
|
Seest thou one who forbids-
|
96:10 |
|
A votary when he (turns) to pray?
|
96:11 |
|
Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
|
96:12 |
|
Or enjoins Righteousness?
|
96:13 |
|
Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
|
96:14 |
|
Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
|
96:15 |
|
Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
|
96:16 |
|
A lying, sinful forelock!
|
96:17 |
|
Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
|
96:18 |
|
We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
|
96:19 |
|
Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah.!
