The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
READ IN THE name of your Lord who created, 1 Hath created man from a clot! 2 Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One 3 Who hath taught mankind by the pen 4 Teacheth man that which he knew not. 5 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 Verily unto thy Lord is the return. 8 Seest thou one who forbids- 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Do you think he is rightly guided, 11 Or enjoineth piety? 12 What thinkest thou? If he cries lies, and turns away - 13 does he not know that Allah sees? 14 No indeed; surely, if he gives not over, We shall seize him by the forelock, 15 By the lying, the sinful forelock. 16 So let him now call his gang! 17 We will call the angels of Hell. 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
God the Almighty always says the truth.
