Read in the name of your Lord who created!
[He] created the human from a clinging mass.
Read! Your Lord is Most Bountiful.
He taught by the pen.
[He] taught the human what he/she did not know.
Alas! The human is bound to sin.
[Humanity] looks upon itself as independent.
Truly, to your Lord is the return.
Do you see anyone trying to prevent…
…a servant [of Allah] from praying?
Do you see whether he/she has guidance…
…and directs righteousness?
Do you see if he/she rejects and turns away?
Does he/she not know that Allah sees?
Let him/her beware! If he/she does not desist, We will drag him/her by the frontal lobes.
[They are] lying, sinful frontal lobes.
Then let him/her call to his/her associates.
We will call on the angels of punishment.
Beware! Do not obey him/her. Prostrate in adoration. Bring yourself closer [to Allah].
