The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Recite in the name of your Lord Who created, 1 created man from a clot [of blood]. 2 Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 The One Who taught to write with the pen. 4 Taught man what he knew not. 5 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses 6 For he thinks he is sufficient in himself. 7 Indeed towards your Lord only is the return. 8 What thinkest thou? He who forbids 9 A bondman of Ours when he prayeth 10 What will happen if the praying person is rightly guided 11 or bade to godfearing -- 12 Have you seen if he denies and turns away - 13 Knoweth he not that Allah doth see? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 The lying, sinful forelock - 16 So, let him call upon his way! 17 We will call the guards of hell. 18 No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord). ۩ 19
Almighty God's Truth.
