The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Recite in the name of your Lord Who created, 1 created Man of a blood-clot. 2 Read, and your Lord only is the Most Beneficent, 3 who has taught [man] the use of the pen 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 By no means: Verily man exorbitateth. 6 As he bethinkest himself selfsufficient. 7 Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all). 8 Bethinkest thou him who forbiddeth, 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Do you think he is rightly guided, 11 Or enjoined guarding (against evil)? 12 Have you thought that if he denies and turns away, 13 Does he not realize that God sees him? 14 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - 15 A forelock, lying, sinning. 16 Then let him call upon his henchmen! 17 We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! 18 Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah). ۩ 19
God Almighty has spoken the truth.
