At-Tin
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ1
By the fig, by the olive
وَطُورِ سِينِينَ2
by Mount Sinai
وَهَـٰذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ3
by this safe town
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ4
We create man in the finest state
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِينَ5
then reduce him to the lowest of the low
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ6
except those who believe and do good deeds––
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِالدِّينِ7
they will have an unfailing reward. After this, what makes you [man] deny the Judgement
أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ8
Is God not the most decisive of judges
Al-Alaq
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ1
Read! In the name of your Lord who created
خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ2
He created manfrom a clinging form
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ3
Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ4
who taught by [means of] the pen
عَلَّمَ الْإِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ5
who taught man what he did not know
كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ6
But man exceeds all bounds
أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ7
when he thinks he is self-sufficient
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ8
[Prophet], all will return to your Lord
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ9
Have you seen the man who forbids
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ10
[Our] servant to pray
أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ11
Have you seen whether he is rightly guided
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ12
or encourages true piety
أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ13
Have you seen whether he denies the truth and turns away from it
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ14
Does he not realize that God sees all
كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ15
No! If he does not stop, We shall drag him by his forehead––
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ16
his lying, sinful forehead
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ17
Let him summon his comrades
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ18
We shall summon the guards of Hell
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ ۩19
No! Do not obey him [Prophet]: bow down in worship and draw close
