English - Yusuf Ali

Sorah Al-'alaq ( The Clot ) - Verses Number 19

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ ( 1 )

Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-

خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ( 2 )

Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:

اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ ( 3 )

Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-

الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ ( 4 )

He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-

عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ( 5 )

Taught man that which he knew not.

كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ ( 6 )

Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,

أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 7 )

In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ ( 8 )

Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).

أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ ( 9 )

Seest thou one who forbids-

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ ( 10 )

A votary when he (turns) to pray?

أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ ( 11 )

Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ ( 12 )

Or enjoins Righteousness?

أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 13 )

Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ( 14 )

Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ ( 15 )

Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-

نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ( 16 )

A lying, sinful forelock!

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ ( 17 )

Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):

سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ ( 18 )

We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب ۩ ( 19 )

Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)!
