The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Read with the name of your Lord Who created, 1 Hath created man from a clot! 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 Who taught by the pen - 4 taught man what he did not know! 5 No indeed; surely Man waxes insolent, 6 because he thinks that he is independent. 7 Surely to your Lord is the return. 8 Have you seen one who prevents 9 a servant (of Allah) when he prays? 10 Hast thou considered whether he is on the right way, 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!? 13 Did he not know that God sees? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 A lying, sinful forelock! 16 Then let him call his associates; 17 We too shall summon the guards of Hell. 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
