Read! In the name of your Lord, Who created (everything that exists)
He creates man from a clot (of blood)
Read! Your Lord is the most Generous
He it is, Who imparted knowledge by the pen
Taught man what he did not know
No, of course not! Man is surely rebellious
For, he thinks he is independent
(Even though his final) return is towards your Lord
Did you (oh Muhammad, SAW), see the one who forbids
The servant (of Allah) to perform ´salat´
What do you think? Is he well guided
And (does he) enjoin piety
Or do you think he denied and turned away
Does he not know that Allah watches (everything)
Of course not! If he did not desist, We will surely drag him by the hair on his forehead
The lying sinful lock of hair
He may then call his henchmen for help
While, We shall summon the guardians of hell
No! Beware! Do not follow such a one. (Rather), fall prostrate and draw closer (to Allah)
