The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Recite: In the Name of thy Lord who created, 1 Created man from a clot. 2 Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 Who taught by the pen, 4 Taught man what he knew not. 5 Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious. 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 However, (all things) will return to your Lord. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 a worshipper from praying? 10 What thinkest thou? If he were upon guidance 11 Or enjoineth piety? 12 What do you think? Have you seen if he belies and turns away, 13 Does he not know that Allah sees everything? 14 Yes certainly, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock. 15 his lying sinful forelock. 16 So let him call on his concourse! 17 We will call 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.
