The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
READ IN THE name of your Lord who created, 1 He created man from a clot of blood. 2 Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 Who taught (to write) with the pen 4 Hath taught man that which he knew not. 5 Nay, surely man transgresses; 6 For he thinks he is sufficient in himself. 7 Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all). 8 What do you think? Have you seen he who forbids 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Have you thought, if he had been on guidance 11 Or he commandeth piety? 12 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? 13 Does he not know that Allah does see? 14 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - 15 A forelock, lying, sinning. 16 Then, let him call his assembly, 17 We shall summon the guards of Hell. 18 Nay, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)! ۩ 19
Almighty Allah's Truth.
