" Read " That is to say
He created man from a clinging organism – See introductio
Read : and realize that Allah, your Creator is most generous
He taught by the pen, (the main instrument of learning and knowledge, the instrument of authorship)
He taught man what he did not know
But no, man always goes beyond the limits prescribed
He believes he is independent and not contingent or conditioned by anything else
But then it is to Allah, your Creator, shall the return be in the end
What do you think of the one who forbids
A votary, against praying and against religious observances
Is he -the infidel- O Muhammad acting on guidance steered by divine inspiration
Or he enjoins righteousness and piety
Do you see that he denies the truth and rejects the path of righteousness
Does he not know that Allah the Omnipresent sees him and every act whether in the very doing or on the point of being done
But no, if he does not desist We will grasp him and drag him by the forelock overhanging his forehead on a Day of unbroken gloom
A forehead that is false, pretending to be a forehead of divinity
And then let him call his associates
We will call the punitive angels
But no, do not yield to him, and bow to the ground to Allah in adoration and get closer to Him by supplication
