The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Read in the name of your Lord Who created. 1 created the human from a (blood) clot. 2 Recite! Your Lord is the most Honorable One, 3 Who taught (to write) with the pen 4 Taught man that which he knew not. 5 Nay, but verily man is rebellious 6 because he thinks that he is independent. 7 truly, all will return to your Lord. 8 HAST THOU ever considered him who tries to prevent 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Have you seen if he is upon guidance 11 or bade to godfearing -- 12 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward? 13 Did he not realise that Allah is watching? 14 Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead, 15 A lying, sinful forelock! 16 So, let him call upon his way! 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
Allah the Almighty always says the truth.
