[1] (Muhammad), read in the name of your Lord who created (all things).
[2] He created man from a clot of blood.
[3] Recite! Your Lord is the most Honorable One,
[4] who, by the pen, taught the human being:
[5] He taught the human being what he did not know.
[6] Despite this, the human being still tends to rebel
[7] because he thinks that he is independent.
[8] However, (all things) will return to your Lord.
[9] Have you seen the one who prohibits
[10] a servant of Ours from prayer?
[11] What will happen if the praying person is rightly guided
[12] or if he commands others to maintain piety!?
[13] What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!?
[14] Does he not realize that God sees him?
[15] Let him know that if he does not desist, We shall certainly drag him by his forelocks,
[16] his lying sinful forelock.
[17] Let him call on his associates for help
[18] and We too will call the stern and angry keepers of hell.
[19] (Muhammad), never yield to him! Prostrate yourself and try to come closer to God.
