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 He created man from a clot. 2 Recite thou: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, 3 who, by the pen, taught the human being: 4 Hath taught man that which he knew not. 5 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses 6 because he thinks himself self-sufficient: 7 However, (all things) will return to your Lord. 8 Have you seen him who restrains 9 a servant [of God] from praying? 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 or if he commands others to maintain piety!? 12 Have you thought that if he denies and turns away, 13 Does he not know that God observes all things? 14 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - 15 a lying, sinful forelock. 16 So, let him call upon his way! 17 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! 18 Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah! ۩ 19
