The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Read with the name of your Lord Who created, 1 created man out of a germ-cell 2 Recite: and your Lord is Most Generous, 3 who taught by the pen, 4 Taught man what he did not know. 5 Indeed, surely the human is very insolent 6 that he sees himself sufficed. 7 Indeed, to your Lord is the returning. 8 Have you seen the one who prohibits 9 a worshiper when he prays. 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 or is concerned with God-consciousness? 12 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? 13 Does he not know that God sees? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 by the lying forelock steeped in sin. 16 So let him call his associates, 17 We will call the guards of hell. 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
