READ1 in the name of thy Sustainer, who has created -
2
created man out of a germ-cell!2
3
Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One
4
who has taught [man] the use of the pen -
5
taught man what he did not know!3
6
Nay, verily, man becomes grossly overweening
7
whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient:
8
for, behold, unto thy Sustainer all must return.4
9
HAST THOU ever considered him who tries to prevent
10
a servant [of God] from praying?5
11
Hast thou considered whether he is on the right way,
12
or is concerned with God-consciousness?6
13
Hast thou considered whether he may [not] be giving the lie to the truth and turning his back [upon it]?7
14
Does he, then, not know that God sees [all]?
15
Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead -8
16
the lying, rebellious, forehead! -
17
and then let him summon [to his aid] the counsels of his own [spurious] wisdom,9
18
[the while] We shall summon the forces of heavenly chastisement!
19
Nay, pay thou no heed to him, but prostrate thyself [before God] and draw close [unto Him]!
