| 1. * | Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), |
| 2. * | Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). |
| 3. * | Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, |
| 4. * | Who has taught (the writing) by the pen (the first person to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch) ), |
| 5. * | Has taught man that which he knew not. |
| 6. * | Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.). |
| 7. * | Because he considers himself self-sufficient. |
| 8. * | Surely! Unto your Lord is the return. |
| 9. * | Have you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) seen him (i.e. Aboo Jahl) who prevents, |
| 10. * | A slave (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) when he prays? |
| 11. * | Tell me, if he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is on the guidance (of Allah)? |
| 12. * | Or enjoins piety? |
| 13. * | Tell me if he (the disbeliever, Aboo Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Quran), and turns away? |
| 14. * | Knows he not that Allah does see (what he does)? |
| 15. * | Nay! If he (Aboo Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, |
| 16. * | A lying, sinful forelock! |
| 17. * | Then, let him call upon his council (of helpers), |
| 18. * | We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! |
| 19. * | Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Aboo Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah! |
