Surah Al-'Alaq — Ayah 19 (96:19)

The Clot · Makkah · Juz 30 · Mushaf page 597 of 604

كـَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب۩ ١٩

English translation (Saheeh International)

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

Brief commentary

It is not as this oppressor thinks: that he can cause any harm to you. So do not follow him in command or prohibition; rather, prostrate to Allah and draw closer to Him through acts of obedience, because that is how you can draw closer to Him.
