The Clot

1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ

READ in the name of thy Sustainer, who has-
2

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ

created man out of a germ-cell
3

ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ

Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One
4

ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ

who has taught [man] the use of the pen –
5

عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ

taught man what he did not know!
6

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ

Nay, verily, man becomes grossly overweening
7

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ

whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient:
8

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ

for, behold, unto thy Sustainer all must return.
9

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ

HAST THOU ever considered him who tries to prevent
10

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ

a servant [of God] from praying?
11

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

Hast thou considered whether he is on the right way,
12

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ

or is concerned with God-consciousness?
13

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

Hast thou considered whether he may [not] be giving the lie to the truth and turning his back [upon it]?
14

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

Does he, then, not know that God sees [all]?
15

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ

Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead
16

نَاصِيَةٍۢ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۢ

the lying, rebellious forehead! –
17

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ

and then let him summon [to his aid] the counsels of his own [spurious] wisdom,
18

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ

[the while] We shall summon the forces of heavenly chastisement!
19

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩

Nay, pay thou no heed to him, but prostrate thyself [before God] and draw close [unto Him]!
