The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Read! In the name of your Lord, who created: 1 Createth man from a clot. 2 Recite: and your Lord is Most Generous, 3 He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- 4 Hath taught man that which he knew not. 5 By no means: Verily man exorbitateth. 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 Surely to your Lord is the return. 8 Have you seen one who prevents 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Tell me, if he (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) is on the guidance (of Allah)? 11 Or had enjoined piety, (it would have been better)? 12 Have you thought that if he denies and turns away, 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 his lying sinful forelock. 16 Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades): 17 We too would summon the braves of the army. 18 Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah! ۩ 19
God Almighty has spoken the truth.
