The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Read! In the name of your Lord, who created: 1 created Man of a blood-clot. 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One 3 Who taught (to write) with the pen 4 taught the human what he did not know. 5 Nay, but verily man is rebellious 6 that he sees himself sufficed. 7 Surely your returning is to your Lord. 8 Seest thou one who forbids- 9 a worshiper when he prays. 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 or if he commands others to maintain piety!? 12 What do you think? Have you seen if he belies and turns away, 13 Does he not know that God observes all things? 14 Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock, 15 his lying, sinful forelock. 16 Then let him summon his council, 17 We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! 18 Nay, pay thou no heed to him, but prostrate thyself [before God] and draw close [unto Him]! ۩ 19
Almighty God's Truth.
