آیت: 1

ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ

Read in the name of your Lord Who created,

آیت: 2

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ

created man from a clinging clot.

آیت: 3

ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ

Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous,

آیت: 4

ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ

Who taught by the pen,

آیت: 5

عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ

taught man what he did not know^[1].

[1] These five verses (1-5) are the first ever verses revealed of the Qur’an. The Prophet (ﷺ) was retreating at a cave in the outskirts of Makkah when the angel Gabriel appeared before him, and ordered him to read. Since the Prophet (ﷺ) was unlettered, he would respond, “I cannot read.” Gabriel would then squeeze him tightly and order him again to read. Ultimately, Gabriel said to him: “Read in the name of your Lord …”.

آیت: 6

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ

Indeed, man transgresses

آیت: 7

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ

when he deems himself to be self-sufficient.

آیت: 8

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

آیت: 9

أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡهَىٰ

Have you seen the one who prevents^[2]

[2] i.e., Abu Jahl was a pagan leader of the Makkah who was an arch-enemy of Islam.

آیت: 10

عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ

a slave [of Allah] from praying^[3]?

[3] Abu Jahl abused the Prophet (ﷺ) when he prayed in the Holy Mosque.

آیت: 11

أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ

What if this [slave] is rightly guided,

آیت: 12

أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ

and enjoins righteousness?

آیت: 13

أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

How about the one who denies and turns away^[4]?

[4] From what the Prophet (ﷺ) has brought and does he not fear Allah?

آیت: 14

أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

Does he not know that Allah is watching all?

آیت: 15

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ

No indeed; if he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock^[5]

[5] To the Hellfire.

آیت: 16

نَاصِيَةٖ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٖ

a lying, sinful forelock^[6].

[6] It alludes to the frontal lobe of the brain, where reasoning is processed.

آیت: 17

فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُۥ

So let him call his associates;

آیت: 18

سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ

We will call the wardens of Hellfire^[7].

[7] i.e., the coarse, rigorous, and harsh angels assigned for the Hellfire.

آیت: 19

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩

No indeed; do not obey him, but prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
