The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Read with the name of your Lord Who created, 1 created man from a clot of congealed blood. 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One 3 Who taught by the pen, 4 The One Who taught man all what he did not know. 5 Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious. 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 truly, all will return to your Lord. 8 Have you seen him who restrains 9 a servant [of God] from praying? 10 Tell me, if he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is on the guidance (of Allah)? 11 or is concerned with God-consciousness? 12 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward? 13 does he not know that Allah sees? 14 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - 15 the lying, rebellious forehead! 16 So let him summon his helpmates; 17 We too shall summon the guards of Hell. 18 Yes indeed; do not listen to him – and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14) ۩ 19
Allah Almighty has spoken the truth.
