 The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'ân, by M.M. Pickthall, at sacred-texts.com 
 96. al-`Alaq: The Clot 
 1  Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, 
 2  Createth man from a clot. 
 3  Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, 
 4  Who teacheth by the pen, 
 5  Teacheth man that which he knew not. 
 6  Nay, but verily man is rebellious 
 7  That he thinketh himself independent! 
 8  Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. 
 9  Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth 
 10  A slave when he prayeth ? 
 11  Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) 
 12  Or enjoineth piety ? 
 13  Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward ? 
 14  Is he then unaware that Allah seeth ? 
 15  Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock - 
 16  The lying, sinful forelock - 
 17  Then let him call upon his henchmen! 
 18  We will call the guards of hell. 
 19  Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).
