Al-Alaq

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

(11) Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ

(12) Or enjoins righteousness?

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

(13) Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

(14) Does he not know that Allāh sees?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ

(15) No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock[1952] –

نَاصِيَةٍ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ

(16) A lying, sinning forelock.

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ

(17) Then let him call his associates;

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ

(18) We will call the angels of Hell.[1953]

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩

(19) No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allāh].
