3. اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الأَكْرَمُ
4. الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
5. عَلَّمَ الإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
6. كَلاَّ إِنَّ الإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَى
7. أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَى

10. عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى
11. أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى

14. أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى
15. كَلاَّ لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ
16. نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
17. فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَه
18. سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
19. كَلاَّ لا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ

Translation of Surah Al-Alaq in English:

Read in the name of your Lord who created. He created man from a clinging substance. Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous. Who taught by the pen. He taught man that which he knew not. Indeed, man transgresses all bounds. When he sees himself as self-sufficient. Verily, to your Lord is the return. Have you seen the one who forbids. A servant when he prays. Have you seen if he is upon guidance. Or enjoins righteousness. Have you seen if he denies and turns away. Does he not know that Allah sees. Indeed, if he does not desist, We will surely seize him by the forelock. A lying, sinful forelock. Then, let him call upon his council. We will call the guards of Hell. No, do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near.
