Al-Alaq
Read and Draw Near
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Read, in the name of your Guardian who created,
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم اڡرا ٮاسم رٮك الدى حلٯ
who created the human being from a clinging form.
حلٯ الاٮسں مں علٯ
Read! And your Guardian is the Most Generous, who taught by the pen, taught the human being what he did not know.
اڡرا ورٮك الاكرم الدى علم ٮالڡلم علم الاٮسں ما لم ٮعلم
By no means! The human being surely exceeds all measure, as soon as he sees himself self-sufficient.
كلا اں الاٮسں لٮطعى اں راه اسٮعٮى
To your Guardian is the return.
اں الى رٮك الرحعى
Have you seen the one who forbids an obedient one when he makes contact?
ارٮٮ الدى ٮٮهى عٮدا ادا صلى
Have you seen if he is upon guidance, or enjoins guardedness?
ارٮٮ اں كاں على الهدى او امر ٮالٮڡوى
Have you seen if he denies and turns his back? Does he not know that God sees?
ارٮٮ اں كدٮ وٮولى الم ٮعلم ٮاں الله ٮرى
By no means! If he does not desist, We will seize him roughly by the forelock, a lying forelock, at fault!
كلا لٮں لم ٮٮٮه لٮسڡعا ٮالٮاصٮه ٮاصٮه كدٮه حاطٮه
Then let him call his assembly; We will call the Zabaniya.
ڡلٮدع ٮادٮه سٮدع الرٮاٮٮه
By no means! Do not defer to him, but prostrate and draw near.
كلا لا ٮطعه واسحد واڡٮرٮ
