Surah Iqra Translation
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
- Read with the name of your Lord who created (every thing) ,
- He created man from a clot of blood.
- Read, and your Lord is the most gracious,
- who imparted knowledge by means of the pen.
- He taught man what he did not know.
- In fact, man crosses the limits,
- because he deems himself to be free of need.
- Surely to your Lord is the return.
- Have you seen him who forbids
- a servant of Allah when he prays?
- Tell me, if he is on the right path,
- or bids piety, (would the former still forbid him?)
- Tell me, if he rejects (the true faith) and turns away,
- does he not know that Allah is watching (him) ?
- No! If he does not desist, We will certainly drag (him) by forelock,
- a lying, sinful forelock.
- So let him call the men of his council,
- We will call the soldiers of the Hell.
- No! Never obey him, and bow down in sajdah, and come close to Me.
