The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Read with the name of your Lord Who created, 1 created the human from a (blood) clot. 2 Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One 3 Who taught by the pen, 4 The One Who taught man all what he did not know. 5 Nay, but verily man is rebellious 6 for he thinks himself self-sufficient. 7 Surely unto thy Lord is the Returning. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 A slave (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) when he prays? 10 Hast thou considered whether he is on the right way, 11 Or enjoins piety? 12 What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!? 13 Does he not know that God sees? 14 Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock - 15 the lying, rebellious forehead! 16 So let him call his associates, 17 We, will call the Zabania (the harsh angels of Hell). 18 No indeed! Do not obey him, but prostrate yourself and come closer to God. ۩ 19
Almighty Allah's Truth.
