ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ﰀ ﴿١﴾

Recite in the name of your Lord who created -

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ ﰁ ﴿٢﴾

Created man from a clinging substance.

ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ ﰂ ﴿٣﴾

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ ﰃ ﴿٤﴾

Who taught by the pen -

عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ ﰄ ﴿٥﴾

Taught man that which he knew not.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ ﰅ ﴿٦﴾

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ ﰆ ﴿٧﴾

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ ﰇ ﴿٨﴾

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡهَىٰ ﰈ ﴿٩﴾

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ﰉ ﴿١٠﴾

A servant when he prays?

أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ﰊ ﴿١١﴾

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ ﰋ ﴿١٢﴾

Or enjoins righteousness?

أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﰌ ﴿١٣﴾

Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ﰍ ﴿١٤﴾

Does he not know that Allah sees?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ﰎ ﴿١٥﴾

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -

نَاصِيَةٖ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٖ ﰏ ﴿١٦﴾

A lying, sinning forelock.

فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ﰐ ﴿١٧﴾

Then let him call his associates;

سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ﰑ ﴿١٨﴾

We will call the angels of Hell.

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩ ﰒ ﴿١٩﴾

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
