Recite: In the name of yoursg Lord Who created—
created man from a clinging form.
Recite: And yoursg Lord is the Most Noble,
the One Who taught by the pen—
taught man what he never knew.
But no! Indeed, man surely exceeds all limits,
for he sees himself self-sufficient.
Indeed, to yoursg Lord is the ultimate return.
Have yousg seen the one who forbids
a servant when he prays?
Have yousg seen whether he was rightly guided
or commanded to mindfulness (of God)?
Have yousg seen whether he disbelieved and turned away?
Has he not realized that Allah sees?
But no! Surely, if he does not desist, We will drag (him) by the forelock—
a lying, wrongful forelock.
Let him call on his gang;
We will call the guards of Hell.
But no! Do not obey him, but prostrate yourself and draw near.
