The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Read! In the name of your Lord, who created: 1 created man from a clot [of blood]. 2 Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One 3 Who taught by the pen, 4 Taught man that which he knew not. 5 Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.). 6 because he thinks himself self-sufficient: 7 Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all). 8 Bethinkest thou him who forbiddeth, 9 a worshipper from praying? 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 Or enjoined guarding (against evil)? 12 Have you seen if he denies and turns away - 13 Does he not know that God sees? 14 Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,- 15 A forelock, lying, sinning. 16 Let him call on his associates for help 17 We too would summon the braves of the army. 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
