The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Read with the name of your Lord Who created, 1 Createth man from a clot. 2 Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - 3 Who taught by the pen, 4 taught the human what he did not know. 5 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, 6 In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient. 7 Indeed, to your Lord is the returning. 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 A votary when he (turns) to pray? 10 Do you think he is rightly guided, 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 Have you seen if he denies and turns away - 13 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? 14 Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock, 15 By the lying, the sinful forelock. 16 So let him now call his gang! 17 We too shall summon the guards of Hell. 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
Allah Almighty has spoken the truth.
