Passion

1. Read: In the name of thy Lord who createth,
2. Createth man from the passion.
3. Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,
4. Who teacheth by the pen,
5. Teacheth man that which he knew not.
6. Nay, but verily man is rebelliouss
7. That he thinketh himself independent!
8. Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
9. Hast thou seen him who dissuadethh
10. A slave when he prayeth?
11. Hast thou seen if he (relieth) on the guidance
12. Or enjoineth piety?
13. Hast thou seen if he denieth and is froward?
14. Is he then unaware that Allah seeth?
15. Nay, but if he cease not, We will seize him by the forelockk
16. The lying, sinful forelockk
17. Then let him call upon his henchmen!
18. We will call the guards of hell.
19. Nay! Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah)
