The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Recite in the name of your Lord who created - 1 Created man from an embryo; 2 Read and your Lord is Most Honorable, 3 who taught by the Pen, 4 Has taught man that which he knew not. 5 Yet man behaves arrogantly, 6 Because he sees himself self-sufficient. 7 truly, all will return to your Lord. 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 A bondman when he offers the prayer? 10 Did you consider: what if he is on the Right Way, 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!? 13 Knoweth he not that Allah beholdeth? 14 Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock, 15 a lying, sinful forelock. 16 Then, let him call his assembly, 17 We shall call on the guards of Hell. 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
Almighty Allah's Truth.
