The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
READ IN THE name of your Lord who created, 1 He created man from a clot. 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 who taught by the Pen, 4 Taught man what he did not know. 5 Nay, but verily man is rebellious 6 That he thinketh himself independent! 7 Surely unto thy Lord is the Returning. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 a servant [of God] from praying? 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 or orders piety? 12 Have you seen if he denies and turns away - 13 does he not know that Allah sees? 14 Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, 15 a lying, sinful forelock. 16 Then let him summon his council, 17 We too would summon the braves of the army. 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
God the Almighty always says the truth.
