Surah Al-Alaq
سُورَةُ العَلَقِSurah Al-Alaq contains the first revelation to the Prophet, commanding him to read in Allah's name. It warns against human transgression.
اِقْرَاْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ ۟ۚ
Recite in the name of your Lord who created -
خَلَقَ الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ۟ۚ
Created man from a clinging substance.
اِقْرَاْ وَرَبُّكَ الْاَكْرَمُ ۟ۙ
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ ۟ۙ
Who taught by the pen -
عَلَّمَ الْاِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ یَعْلَمْ ۟ؕ
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَیَطْغٰۤی ۟ۙ
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
اَنْ رَّاٰهُ اسْتَغْنٰی ۟ؕ
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
اِنَّ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعٰی ۟ؕ
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
اَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ یَنْهٰی ۟ۙ
Have you seen the one who forbids
عَبْدًا اِذَا صَلّٰی ۟ؕ
A servant when he prays?
اَرَءَیْتَ اِنْ كَانَ عَلَی الْهُدٰۤی ۟ۙ
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
اَوْ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوٰی ۟ؕ
Or enjoins righteousness?
اَرَءَیْتَ اِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰی ۟ؕ
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
اَلَمْ یَعْلَمْ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَرٰی ۟ؕ
Does he not know that Allah sees?
كَلَّا لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ یَنْتَهِ ۙ۬ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِیَةِ ۟ۙ
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
نَاصِیَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ۟ۚ
A lying, sinning forelock.
فَلْیَدْعُ نَادِیَهٗ ۟ۙ
Then let him call his associates;
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِیَةَ ۟ۙ
We will call the angels of Hell.
كَلَّا ؕ لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ ۟
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
