The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Recite: In the Name of thy Lord who created, 1 Created man from an embryo; 2 Recite! Your Lord is the most Honorable One, 3 Who hath taught mankind by the pen 4 taught the human what he did not know. 5 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, 6 because he thinks that he is independent. 7 truly, all will return to your Lord. 8 Bethinkest thou him who forbiddeth, 9 a worshiper when he prays. 10 Tell me, if he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is on the guidance (of Allah)? 11 or orders piety? 12 Have you thought that if he denies and turns away, 13 Does he not realize that God sees him? 14 Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead, 15 A forelock, lying, sinning. 16 So let him summon his helpmates; 17 We too shall summon the guards of Hell. 18 No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord). ۩ 19
Almighty Allah's Truth.
