The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Recite thou in the name of thy Lord Who hath created 1 He created man from a clot of blood. 2 Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous - 3 Who taught by the pen, 4 Has taught man that which he knew not. 5 By no means: Verily man exorbitateth. 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 Surely to your Lord is the return. 8 Seest thou one who forbids- 9 A bondman when he offers the prayer? 10 Have you thought, if he had been on guidance 11 Or enjoins piety? 12 What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!? 13 Knoweth he not that Allah beholdeth? 14 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - 15 A forelock that lies, is sinful. 16 Let him call on his associates for help 17 We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
Almighty Allah's Truth.
