Chapter 96
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
96:1 Read in the name of your Lord who has created.
96:2 He created the human being from an embryo.
96:3 Read, and your Lord is the Generous One.
96:4 The One who taught by the pen.
96:5 He taught the human being what he did not know.
96:6 No! The human being is bound to transgress.
96:7 When he achieves, he no longer has need!
96:8 To your Lord is the return.
96:9 Have you seen the one who prohibits,
96:10 A servant from being indoctrinated?
96:11 Did you see if he was being guided,
96:12 Or that he advocated righteousness?
96:13 Did you see that he denied and turned away?
96:14 Does he not realize that God can see?
96:15 No! If he does not cease, We will take him by the forelock.
96:16 A forelock which lies and errs.
96:17 So let him call on his supporter.
96:18 We will call on the guardians.
96:19 No! Do not obey him; but prostrate and come near.
