Al-'Alaq


ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ

Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created—


خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ

created humans from a clinging clot.1


ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ

Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,


ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ

Who taught by the pen—


عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ

taught humanity what they knew not.1 


كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ

Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds


أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ

once they think they are self-sufficient.


إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ

˹But˺ surely to your Lord is the return ˹of all˺.


أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡهَىٰ

Have you seen the man who prevents


عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ

a servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying?1
