Read, in the name of thy Lord, Who hath created all things
who hath created man of congealed blood
Read, by thy most beneficent Lord
Who taught the use of the pen
Who teacheth man that which he knoweth not
Assuredly. Verily man becometh insolent
because he seeth himself abound in riches
Verily unto thy Lord shall be the return of all
What thinkest thou as to hi
who forbiddeth our servant, when he prayeth
What thinkest thou; if he follow the right direction
or command piety
What thinkest thou; if he accuse the divine revelations of falsehood, and turn his back
Doth he not know that God seeth
Assuredly. Verily, if he forbear not, We will drag him by the forelock
the lying, sinful forelock
And let him call his council to his assistance
We also will call the infernal guards to cast him into hell
Assuredly. Obey him not: But continue to adore God; and draw nigh unto Him
