| 96:1 | | Read in the name of your Lord who has created | | 96:2 | | created man out of a germ- cell. | | 96:3 | | Read for your Lord is the most Bountiful One, | | 96:4 | | who has taught the use of the pen, | | 96:5 | | taught man what he did not know. | | 96:6 | | Indeed, man becomes grossly overweening, | | 96:7 | | once he thinks himself self- sufficient. | | 96:8 | | Surely to your L rd all must return. | | 96:9 | | Look at the one who tries to prevent | | 96:10 | | a servant of God from praying! | | 96:11 | | Think: does he follow the right guidance | | 96:12 | | and enjoin [others to be] God-fearing? | | 96:13 | | Think: if he denies the truth and turns his back, | | 96:14 | | does he not realize that God sees all? | | 96:15 | | Nay, if he does not desist, We will most certainly drag him by his forelock, | | 96:16 | | his lying, sinful forelock. | | 96:17 | | Then let him call his henchmen. | | 96:18 | | We will call the guards of hell. | | 96:19 | | No, pay no heed to him, but prostrate yourself and draw closer to God. |
