96:1  Recite in the name of your Lord Who created

96:2  created man from a clot of congealed blood

96:3  Recite: and your Lord is Most Generous

96:4  Who taught by the pen

96:5  taught man what he did not know

96:6  Nay, surely man transgresses

96:7  for he believes himself to be self-sufficient

96:8  Surely to your Lord is your return

96:9  Did you see him who forbid

96:10  a servant (of Allah) when he prays

96:11  Did you consider: what if he is on the Right Way

96:12  and enjoins piety

96:13  Did you consider: what if he gives the lie (to the Truth) and turns away (from it)

96:14  Does he not know that Allah sees everything

96:15  No indeed; if he does not desist, We shall drag him by the forelock

96:16  by the lying forelock steeped in sin

96:17  So let him summon his helpmates

96:18  We too shall summon the guards of Hell

96:19  No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord)
