Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created−
96:2
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
96:3
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,−
96:4
He Who taught (the use of) the pen,−
96:5
Taught man that which he knew not.
96:6
Day, but man doth transgress all bounds,
96:7
In that he looketh upon himself as self−sufficient.
96:8
Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
96:9
Seest thou one who forbids− A votary when he (turns) to pray?
96:11
Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?−
96:12
Or enjoins Righteousness?
96:13
Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
96:14
Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
96:15
Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,−
96:16
A lying, sinful forelock!
96:17
Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
96:18
We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
96:19
Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)! −− 096 : The Clot −−
