Surah Al-Alaq in the Qaloun Recitation

اِ۪قْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ اَ۬لذِے خَلَقَۖ﴿1﴾

Recite in the name of your Lord who created

خَلَقَ اَ۬لْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍۖ﴿2﴾

Created man from a clinging substance.

اِ۪قْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ اَ۬لْأَكْرَمُ﴿3﴾

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

اُ۬لذِے عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ﴿4﴾

Who taught by the pen

عَلَّمَ اَ۬لْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْۖ﴿5﴾

Taught man that which he knew not.

كَلَّا إِنَّ اَ۬لْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰ﴿6﴾

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

أَن رَّءَاهُ اُ۪سْتَغْنَىٰۖ﴿7﴾

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ اَ۬لرُّجْعَىٰۖ﴿8﴾

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

أَرَٰ۬يْتَ اَ۬لذِے يَنْهَىٰ﴿9﴾

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبْداً إِذَا صَلَّىٰۖ﴿10﴾

A servant when he prays?

أَرَٰ۬يْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى اَ۬لْهُدَىٰ﴿11﴾

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰۖ﴿12﴾

Or enjoins righteousness?

أَرَٰ۬يْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ﴿13﴾

Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ يَرَىٰۖ﴿14﴾

Does he not know that Allāh sees?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ﴿15﴾

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock

لَنَسْفَعاَۢ بِالنَّاصِيَةِ﴿16﴾

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock

نَاصِيَةٖ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٖۖ﴿17﴾

A lying, sinning forelock.

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ﴿18﴾

Then let him call his associates;

سَنَدْعُ اُ۬لزَّبَانِيَةَۖ﴿19﴾

We will call the angels of Hell.

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبۖ﴿20﴾

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allāh].
