Sorah Al-'alaq ( The Clot ) - Verses Number 19

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ ( 1 )

Recite in the name of your Lord who created -

خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ( 2 )

Created man from a clinging substance.

اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ ( 3 )

Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ ( 4 )

Who taught by the pen -

عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ( 5 )

Taught man that which he knew not.

كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ ( 6 )

No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 7 )

Because he sees himself self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ ( 8 )

Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ ( 9 )

Have you seen the one who forbids

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ ( 10 )

A servant when he prays?

أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ ( 11 )

Have you seen if he is upon guidance

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ ( 12 )

Or enjoins righteousness?

أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 13 )

Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ( 14 )

Does he not know that Allah sees?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ ( 15 )

No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -

نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ( 16 )

A lying, sinning forelock.

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ ( 17 )

Then let him call his associates;

سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ ( 18 )

We will call the angels of Hell.

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب ۩ ( 19 )

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].

Concept of God in IslamIts author said in the introduction, "It is a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word "god," which can be made plural, as in "gods," or made feminine, as in "goddess." It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic."

The Etiquette of Seeking KnowledgeThe Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge ... to adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behaviour, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islam, and knowledge - the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified Shariah - cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic; either pertaining to (general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific types of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quran, the etiquette of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the mufti, the etiquette of the qazi (judge), the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of Allah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee'ah.

Night Prayer in RamadanA most rewarding and fulfilling part of a Muslim's worship are those blessed moments that he spends praying in the depth of the night, privately addressing his Great Lord, sincerely glorifying Him, humbly imploring Him - beseeching His forgiveness and asking Him for favors. The voluntary "night prayer", or qiyaam, is indispensable for a person's moral, spiritual, and physical welfare. Yet, it is greatly misunderstood and largely neglected by most Muslims
