Sûrah 96. Al-'Alaq
(The Clot)
| 1. | Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), |
|
| 2. | Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). |
|
| 3. | Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, |
|
| 4. | Who has taught (the writing) by the pen [the first person
to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch)
< ], |
|
| 5. | Has taught man that which he knew not. |
|
| 6. | Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.). |
|
| 7. | Because he considers himself self-sufficient. |
|
| 8. | Surely! Unto your Lord is the return. |
|
| 9. | Have you (O Muhammad
 )
seen him (i.e. Abû Jahl) who prevents, |
|
| 10. | A slave (Muhammad
)
when he prays? |
|
| 11. | Tell me, if he (Muhammad
)
is on the guidance (of Allâh)? |
|
| 12. | Or enjoins piety? |
|
| 13. | Tell me if he (the disbeliever, Abû Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur'ân), and turns away? |
|
| 14. | Knows he not that Allâh does see (what he does)? |
|
| 15. | Nay! If he (Abû Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, |
|
| 16. | A lying, sinful forelock! |
|
| 17. | Then, let him call upon his council (of helpers), |
|
| 18. | We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! |
|
| 19. | Nay! (O Muhammad
)!
Do not obey him (Abû Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allâh! |
