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 created Man of a blood-clot. 2 Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 Who teacheth by the pen, 4 Taught man what he did not know. 5 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 for, behold, unto thy Sustainer all must return. 8 What is your opinion – regarding him who forbids – 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Have you seen if he was upon guidance 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 What thinkest thou? If he cries lies, and turns away - 13 Does he not realize that God sees him? 14 By no means! If he desist not We shall seize and deal him by the forelock 15 A lying, sinful forelock! 16 So, let him call upon his way! 17 We will call the angels of Hell. 18 Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah! ۩ 19
God the Almighty always says the truth.
