بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ﴿١﴾ خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ ﴿٢﴾ ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ ﴿٣﴾ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ ﴿٤﴾ عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ ﴿٥﴾ كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ ﴿٦﴾ أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ ﴿٧﴾ إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ ﴿٨﴾ أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يَنۡهَىٰ ﴿٩﴾ عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٠﴾ أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾ أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰٓ ﴿١٢﴾ أَرَءَيۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١٣﴾ أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ﴿١٤﴾ كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ﴿١٥﴾ نَاصِيَةࣲ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةࣲ‏ ﴿١٦﴾ فَلۡيَدۡعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾ سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ﴿١٨﴾ كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩ ﴿١٩﴾
