96:1   Read in (the) name (of) your Lord the One Who created -

96:2   He created man from a clinging substance.

96:3   Read, and your Lord (is) the Most Generous,

96:4   The One Who taught by the pen,

96:5   Taught man what not he knew.

96:6   Nay! Indeed, man surely transgresses,

96:7   That he sees himself self-sufficient.

96:8   Indeed, to your Lord (is) the return.

96:9   Have you seen the one who forbids

96:10   A slave when he prays?

96:11   Have you seen if he is upon [the] guidance,

96:12   Or he enjoins [of the] righteousness?

96:13   Have you seen if he denies and turns away?

96:14   Does not he know that Allah sees?

96:15   Nay! If not he desists, surely We will drag him by the forelock,

96:16   A forelock lying, sinful.

96:17   Then let him call his associates,

96:18   We will call the Angels of Hell.

96:19   Nay! (Do) not obey him. But prostrate and draw near (to Allah).
