95:2By Mount Sinai,
وَهٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ الۡاَمِيۡنِۙ ٣
95:3And by this land made safe;
لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ فِىۡۤ اَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِيۡمٍ ٤
95:4Surely We created man of the best stature
ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنٰهُ اَسۡفَلَ سَافِلِيۡنَۙ ٥
95:5Then we reduced him to the lowest of the low,
اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَلَهُمۡ اَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُوۡنٍؕ ٦
95:6Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing.
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعۡدُ بِالدِّيۡنِ ٧
95:7So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment?
اَلَيۡسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَحۡكَمِ الۡحٰكِمِيۡنَ ٨
95:8Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges?

الَّذِىۡ عَلَّمَ بِالۡقَلَمِۙ ٤

96:6Nay, but verily man is rebellious
اَنۡ رَّاٰهُ اسۡتَغۡنٰىؕ ٧
96:7That he thinketh himself independent!
اِنَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ الرُّجۡعٰىؕ ٨
96:8Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
اَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِىۡ يَنۡهٰىؕ ٩
96:9Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth
عَبۡدًا اِذَا صَلّٰىؕ ١٠
96:10A slave when he prayeth?

اَوۡ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقۡوٰىۙ ١٢

96:14Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?
كَلَّا لَٮِٕنۡ لَّمۡ يَنۡتَهِࣙۙ لَنَسۡفَعًۢـا بِالنَّاصِيَةِۙ ١٥
96:15Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۚ ١٦
96:16The lying, sinful forelock -
فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهٗۙ ١٧
96:17Then let him call upon his henchmen!
