96:1  Read, in the name of your Lord who created

96:2  Created the human being from a zygote

96:3  Proclaim, and your Lord is Most Bountiful

96:4  He Who taught the use of the pen

96:5  Taught the human being that which he knew not

96:6  No, but the human being transgresses all bounds

96:7  When he looks upon himself as self-sufficient

96:8  Indeed, to your Lord is the return

96:9  Do you see one who forbids

96:10  A worshipper when he turns to pray

96:11  Have you seen whether he has guidance

96:12  Or encourages righteousness

96:13  Do you see if he denies and turns away

96:14  Does he not know that God sees

96:15  Let him beware, that if he does not desist, We will drag him by the hair of his head

96:16  His lying, sinful head

96:17  Then let him call to his advisers

96:18  We will call on the angels of punishment

96:19  No, do not follow, but bow down in adoration, and bring yourself ever closer
