The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), 1 Createth man from a clot. 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One 3 Who taught by the pen - 4 Taught man that which he knew not. 5 Nay, surely man transgresses; 6 That he thinketh himself independent! 7 Surely to your Lord is the return. 8 Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth 9 a servant (of Allah) when he prays? 10 Did you consider: what if he is on the Right Way, 11 Or enjoins righteousness? 12 Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back? 13 Does he not know that Allah does see? 14 By no means! If he desist not We shall seize and deal him by the forelock 15 his lying sinful forelock. 16 Let him call on his associates for help 17 We also shall call the infernal guards. 18 Yes indeed; do not listen to him – and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14) ۩ 19
