Read! In the name of your Lord who created
He created manfrom a clinging form
Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful On
who taught by [means of] the pen
who taught man what he did not know
But man exceeds all bound
when he thinks he is self-sufficient
[Prophet], all will return to your Lord
Have you seen the man who forbid
[Our] servant to pray
Have you seen whether he is rightly guided
or encourages true piety
Have you seen whether he denies the truth and turns away from it
Does he not realize that God sees all
No! If he does not stop, We shall drag him by his forehead––
his lying, sinful forehead
Let him summon his comrades
We shall summon the guards of Hell
No! Do not obey him [Prophet]: bow down in worship and draw close
