The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
READ in the name of thy Sustainer, who has created 1 created the human from a (blood) clot. 2 Recite: And thy Lord is the Most Generous, 3 who, by the pen, taught the human being: 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses 6 whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: 7 Surely to your Lord is the return. 8 What do you think? Have you seen he who forbids 9 A bondman when he offers the prayer? 10 Hast thou considered whether he is on the right way, 11 or if he commands others to maintain piety!? 12 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward? 13 Knows he not that Allah does see (what he does)? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 A lying, sinful forehead. 16 Then, let him call upon his council (of helpers), 17 We will call the angels of Hell. 18 By no means! Obey not thou him. Continue to adore, and continue to draw nigh. ۩ 19
