بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اِقْرَاْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ ۟ۚاِقۡرَاۡ بِاسۡمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَۚ
(اے محمدﷺ) اپنے پروردگار کا نام لے کر پڑھو جس نے (عالم کو) پیدا کیا
Recite, O Messenger, what Allah reveals to you, starting with the name of your Lord, who created everything.
خَلَقَ الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ۟ۚخَلَقَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍۚ
جس نے انسان کو خون کی پھٹکی سے بنایا
He created the human being from a clot of congealed blood after it had been a drop of semen.
اِقْرَاْ وَرَبُّكَ الْاَكْرَمُ ۟ۙاِقۡرَاۡ وَرَبُّكَ الۡاَكۡرَمُۙ
پڑھو اور تمہارا پروردگار بڑا کریم ہے
Recite, O Messenger, what Allah reveals to you. Your Lord is the Most Generous, and none can come close to His generosity, for He is abundant in magnanimity and benevolence.
الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ ۟ۙالَّذِىۡ عَلَّمَ بِالۡقَلَمِۙ
جس نے قلم کے ذریعے سے علم سکھایا
The One who taught script and writing through the pen.
عَلَّمَ الْاِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ یَعْلَمْ ۟ؕعَلَّمَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡؕ
اور انسان کو وہ باتیں سکھائیں جس کا اس کو علم نہ تھا
He taught the human being that which he did not know.
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَیَطْغٰۤی ۟ۙكَلَّاۤ اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لَيَطۡغٰٓىۙ
مگر انسان سرکش ہو جاتا ہے
Truly, a depraved human being like Abu Jahl certainly crosses the limit by overstepping Allah's boundaries.
اَنْ رَّاٰهُ اسْتَغْنٰی ۟ؕاَنۡ رَّاٰهُ اسۡتَغۡنٰىؕ
جب کہ اپنے تیئں غنی دیکھتا ہے
Because he views himself as self-sufficient through his possession of prestige and wealth.
اِنَّ اِلٰی رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعٰی ۟ؕاِنَّ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ الرُّجۡعٰىؕ
کچھ شک نہیں کہ (اس کو) تمہارے پروردگار ہی کی طرف لوٹ کر جانا ہے
Indeed, to your Lord, O human being, is the return on the Day of Resurrection. So He will requite each person with what they deserve.
اَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ یَنْهٰی ۟ۙاَرَءَيۡتَ الَّذِىۡ يَنۡهٰىؕ
بھلا تم نے اس شخص کو دیکھا جو منع کرتا ہے
Have you seen anything more astonishing than the matter of Abu Jahl, who prevents our slave Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم when he prays at the Kaabah?
عَبْدًا اِذَا صَلّٰی ۟ؕعَبۡدًا اِذَا صَلّٰىؕ
(یعنی) ایک بندے کو جب وہ نماز پڑھنے لگتا ہے
Have you seen anything more astonishing than the matter of Abu Jahl, who prevents our slave Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم when he prays at the Kaabah?
اَرَءَیْتَ اِنْ كَانَ عَلَی الْهُدٰۤی ۟ۙاَرَءَيۡتَ اِنۡ كَانَ عَلَى الۡهُدٰٓىۙ
بھلا دیکھو تو اگر یہ راہِ راست پر ہو
What if this person [who Abu Jahl] prevented is upon guidance and foresight from his Lord?!
اَوْ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوٰی ۟ؕاَوۡ اَمَرَ بِالتَّقۡوٰىۙ
یا پرہیز گاری کا حکم کرے (تو منع کرنا کیسا)
Or [a person who] would instruct the people to be heedful of Allah by complying with His commands and avoiding His prohibitions; is such a person supposed to be prevented?!
اَرَءَیْتَ اِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰی ۟ؕاَرَءَيۡتَ اِنۡ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىؕ
اور دیکھو تو اگر اس نے دین حق کو جھٹلایا اور اس سے منہ موڑا (تو کیا ہوا)
What if this preventer rejects what the Messenger has come with and turns away from it; does he not fear Allah?!
اَلَمْ یَعْلَمْ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَرٰی ۟ؕاَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرٰىؕ
کیااس کو معلوم نہیں کہ خدا دیکھ رہا ہے
Does the preventer of this slave from prayer not realize that Allah sees whatever he does and that nothing is hidden from Him?
كَلَّا لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ یَنْتَهِ ۙ۬— لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِیَةِ ۟ۙكَلَّا لَئِنۡ لَّمۡ يَنۡتَهِ ۙ لَنَسۡفَعًۢا بِالنَّاصِيَةِۙ
دیکھو اگر وہ باز نہ آئے گا تو ہم (اس کی) پیشانی کے بال پکڑ گھسیٹیں گے
The matter is not as this ignorant individual perceives. Certainly, if he does not refrain from harming My slave and rejecting him, We will surely seize him, violently dragging him from the front of his head to the Fire.
نَاصِیَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ۟ۚنَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
یعنی اس جھوٹے خطاکار کی پیشانی کے بال
The person of that forelock is a liar in speech and erroneous in deed.
فَلْیَدْعُ نَادِیَهٗ ۟ۙفَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهٗ
تو وہ اپنے یاروں کی مجلس کو بلالے
So, when he is seized by the front of his head towards the Fire, let him call his companions and associates, asking for their help to save him from the torment.
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِیَةَ ۟ۙسَنَدۡعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
ہم بھی اپنے موکلانِ دوزخ کو بلا لیں گے
We will summon the guardians of Hell; fierce angels that do not disobey Allah's commands and do as they are ordered. Let him then see which of the two groups is stronger and more capable.
كَلَّا ؕ— لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ ۟كَلَّا ؕ لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَاسۡجُدۡ وَاقۡتَرِبْ۩
دیکھو اس کا کہا نہ ماننا اور قربِ (خدا) حاصل کرتے رہنا
It is not as this wrongdoer assumes: that he can cause harm to reach you. So do not obey him in command or prohibition. Prostrate to Allah and draw closer to Him through acts of obedience, for they draw [one] closer to Him.
