Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation

Surah 'Alaq: The Cloth

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

096.001	Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
096.002	Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
096.003	Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
096.004	He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
096.005	Taught man that which he knew not.
096.006	Day, but man doth transgress all bounds,
096.007	In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
096.008	Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
096.009	Seest thou one who forbids-
096.010	A votary when he (turns) to pray?
096.011	Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
096.012	Or enjoins Righteousness?
096.013	Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
096.014	Knoweth he not that God doth see?
096.015	Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
096.016	A lying, sinful forelock!
096.017	Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
096.018	We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
096.019	Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to God)!

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
