Surah Al-'alaq ( The Clot ) - Aya count 19
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
( 1 ) 
Recite in the name of your Lord who created -
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
( 2 ) 
Created man from a clinging substance.
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ
( 3 ) 
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
( 4 ) 
Who taught by the pen -
عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
( 5 ) 
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ
( 6 ) 
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
( 7 ) 
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ
( 8 ) 
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ
( 9 ) 
Have you seen the one who forbids
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ
( 10 ) 
A servant when he prays?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ
( 11 ) 
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ
( 12 ) 
Or enjoins righteousness?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
( 13 ) 
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
( 14 ) 
Does he not know that Allah sees?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ
( 15 ) 
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
( 16 ) 
A lying, sinning forelock.
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ
( 17 ) 
Then let him call his associates;
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
( 18 ) 
We will call the angels of Hell.
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب ۩
( 19 ) 
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
