ٱقۡرَأۡبِٱسۡمِرَبِّكَٱلَّذِيخَلَقَ١
Recite in the name of your Lord who created –
خَلَقَٱلۡإِنسَٰنَمِنۡعَلَقٍ٢
Created man from a clinging substance.
ٱقۡرَأۡوَرَبُّكَٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ٣
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
ٱلَّذِيعَلَّمَبِٱلۡقَلَمِ٤
Who taught by the pen –
عَلَّمَٱلۡإِنسَٰنَمَالَمۡيَعۡلَمۡ٥
Taught man that which he knew not.
كـَلَّآإِنَّٱلۡإِنسَٰنَلَيَطۡغَىٰٓ٦
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
أَنرَّءَاهُٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ٧
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
إِنَّإِلَىٰرَبِّكَٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ٨
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
أَرَءَيۡتَٱلَّذِييَنۡهَىٰ٩
Have you seen the one who forbids
عَبۡدًاإِذَاصَلَّىٰٓ١٠
A servant when he prays?
