Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
|
2. |
He created man from a clot.
|
4. |
Who taught (to write) with the pen
|
5. |
Taught man what he knew not.
|
7. |
Because he sees himself free from want.
|
8. |
Surely to your Lord is the return.
|
9. |
Have you seen him who forbids
|
10. |
A servant when he prays?
|
11. |
Have you considered if he were on the right way,
|
12. |
Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
|
13. |
Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
|
14. |
Does he not know that Allah does see?
|
15. |
Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
|
16. |
A lying, sinful forehead.
|
17. |
Then let him summon his council,
|
18. |
We too would.summon the braves of the army.
|
19. |
Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah).
