| 1. * | Read, in the name of thy Lord, Who hath created all things; |
| 2. * | who hath created man of congealed blood. |
| 3. * | Read, by thy most beneficent Lord; |
| 4. * | Who taught the use of the pen; |
| 5. * | Who teacheth man that which he knoweth not. |
| 6. * | Assuredly. Verily man becometh insolent, |
| 7. * | because he seeth himself abound in riches. |
| 8. * | Verily unto thy Lord shall be the return of all. |
| 9. * | What thinkest thou as to him |
| 10. * | who forbiddeth our servant, when he prayeth? |
| 11. * | What thinkest thou; if he follow the right direction; |
| 12. * | or command piety? |
| 13. * | What thinkest thou; if he accuse the divine revelations of falsehood, and turn his back? |
| 14. * | Doth he not know that God seeth? |
| 15. * | Assuredly. Verily, if he forbear not, We will drag him by the forelock, |
| 16. * | the lying, sinful forelock. |
| 17. * | And let him call his council to his assistance: |
| 18. * | We also will call the infernal guards to cast him into hell. |
| 19. * | Assuredly. Obey him not: But continue to adore God; and draw nigh unto Him. |
