1ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ

2خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ

3ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ

4ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ

5عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ

6كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ

7أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ

8إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ

9أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ

10عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ

11أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ

12أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ

13أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

14أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

15كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ

16نَاصِيَةٍ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ

17فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ

18سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ

19كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩
