The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
READ in the name of thy Sustainer, who has created 1 Created man from a clinging substance. 2 Recite! Your Lord is the most Honorable One, 3 Who taught (to write) with the pen 4 Taught man that which he knew not. 5 Indeed, surely the human is very insolent 6 for he thinks himself self-sufficient. 7 Surely to your Lord is your return. 8 Have you seen him who restrains 9 A votary when he (turns) to pray? 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 Or he commandeth piety? 12 Do you see how he has denied the truth and turned away from it? 13 Does he not know that God observes all things? 14 Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead, 15 The lying, sinful forelock - 16 Then, let him call his assembly, 17 We will call the guards of hell. 18 No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord). ۩ 19
Almighty Allah's Truth.
