وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونِ ١
By the fig and the olive ˹of Jerusalem˺,
95:1
وَطُورِ سِينِينَ ٢
and Mount Sinai,
95:2
وَهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ ٱلۡأَمِينِ ٣
and this secure city ˹of Mecca˺!1
95:3
لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِيٓ أَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِيمٖ ٤
Indeed, We created humans in the best form.
95:4
ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَٰهُ أَسۡفَلَ سَٰفِلِينَ ٥
But We will reduce them to the lowest of the low ˹in Hell˺,
95:5
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونٖ ٦
except those who believe and do good—they will have a never-ending reward.
95:6
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعۡدُ بِٱلدِّينِ ٧
Now, what makes you deny the ˹final˺ Judgment?
95:7
أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحۡكَمِ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ٨
Is Allah not the most just of all judges?
95:8
ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ١
Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created—
96:1
خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ ٢
created humans from a clinging clot.1
96:2
ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ ٣
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
96:3
ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ ٤
Who taught by the pen—
96:4
عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ ٥
taught humanity what they knew not.1
96:5
كـَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ ٦
Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds
96:6
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ ٧
once they think they are self-sufficient.
96:7
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ ٨
˹But˺ surely to your Lord is the return ˹of all˺.
96:8
أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡهَىٰ ٩
Have you seen the man who prevents
96:9
عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ١٠
a servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying?1
96:10
أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ١١
What if this ˹servant˺ is ˹rightly˺ guided,
96:11
أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ ١٢
or encourages righteousness?
96:12
أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ١٣
What if that ˹man˺ persists in denial and turns away?
96:13
أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ١٤
Does he not know that Allah sees ˹all˺?
96:14
كـَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ١٥
But no! If he does not desist, We will certainly drag him by the forelock—
96:15
نَاصِيَةٖ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٖ ١٦
a lying, sinful forelock.1
96:16
فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ١٧
So let him call his associates.
96:17
سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ١٨
We will call the wardens of Hell.
96:18
كـَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩ ١٩
Again, no! Never obey him ˹O Prophet˺! Rather, ˹continue to˺ prostrate and draw near ˹to Allah˺.
96:19
