The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
READ in the name of thy Sustainer, who has created 1 created the human from a (blood) clot. 2 Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - 3 who taught by the Pen, 4 Taught man what he knew not. 5 Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious. 6 for he believes himself to be self-sufficient. 7 Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Have you thought, if he had been on guidance 11 Or enjoins piety? 12 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? 13 Does he not know that God observes all things? 14 Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead, 15 his lying sinful forelock. 16 Then, let him call his assembly, 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
Allah Almighty has spoken the truth.
