READ, in the name of thy Lord
Who created man from congealed blood
Read, for thy Lord is most generous
Who taught the pen
Taught man what he did not know
Nay, verily, man is indeed outrageou
at seeing himself get rich
Verily, unto thy Lord is the return
Hast thou considered him who forbid
a servant when he prays
Hast thou considered if he were in guidanc
or bade piety
Hast thou considered if he said it was a lie, and turned his back
Did he not know that God can see
Nay, surely, if he do not desist we will drag him by the forelock!
the lying sinful forelock
So let him call his counsel
we will call the guards of hell
Nay, obey him not, but adore and draw nigh
