The Clot
1
Recite in the name of your Lord who created
2
Created man from a clinging substance
3
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous
4
Who taught by the pen
5
Taught man that which he knew not
6
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
7
Because he sees himself self-sufficient
8
Indeed, to your Lord is the return
9
Have you seen the one who forbids
10
A servant when he prays
11
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
12
Or enjoins righteousness
13
Have you seen if he denies and turns away
14
Does he not know that Allah sees
15
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock
16
A lying, sinning forelock
17
Then let him call his associates
18
We will call the angels of Hell
19
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah]
