Surah Al-Alaq (العلق): Full Ayat

Recite in the name of your Lord who created - (1)

Created man from a clinging substance. (2)

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - (3)

Who taught by the pen - (4)

Taught man that which he knew not. (5)

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses (6)

Because he sees himself self-sufficient. (7)

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

Have you seen the one who forbids (9)

A servant when he prays? (10)

Have you seen if he is upon guidance (11)

Or enjoins righteousness? (12)

Have you seen if he denies and turns away - (13)

Does he not know that Allah sees? (14)

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - (15)

A lying, sinning forelock. (16)

Then let him call his associates; (17)

We will call the angels of Hell. (18)

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah]. (19)
