The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Recite in the name of your Lord Who created, 1 Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: 2 Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One 3 who, by the pen, taught the human being: 4 Teacheth man that which he knew not. 5 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses 6 that he sees himself sufficed. 7 Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all). 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 A votary when he turns to his devotions? 10 Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?- 11 Or enjoineth piety? 12 What thinkest thou? If he cries lies, and turns away - 13 Does he not realize that God sees him? 14 Yes certainly, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock. 15 A lying, sinful forehead. 16 So let him call his associates, 17 We shall call on the guards of Hell. 18 Nay, pay thou no heed to him, but prostrate thyself [before God] and draw close [unto Him]! ۩ 19
God the Almighty always says the truth.
