The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Recite in the name of your Lord who created - 1 He created man from a clot. 2 Recite: And thy Lord is the Most Generous, 3 who has taught [man] the use of the pen 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, 6 Because he considers himself self-sufficient. 7 However, (all things) will return to your Lord. 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 a worshipper from praying? 10 Do you think he is rightly guided, 11 or orders piety? 12 Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back? 13 Did he not know that God sees? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 the lying, rebellious forehead! 16 Then let him summon his council, 17 We will call the angels of Hell. 18 By no means! Obey not thou him. Continue to adore, and continue to draw nigh. ۩ 19
God the Almighty always says the truth.
