The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, 1 Created man from a clot. 2 Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 Who taught (to write) with the pen 4 The One Who taught man all what he did not know. 5 Nay! man is most surely inordinate, 6 That he thinketh himself independent! 7 Indeed, to your Lord is the return. 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Hast thou considered whether he is on the right way, 11 Or enjoins piety? 12 What thinkest thou? If he cries lies, and turns away - 13 Knoweth he not that Allah doth see? 14 Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock, 15 The lying, sinful forelock - 16 Then, let him call his assembly, 17 We also shall call the infernal guards. 18 Yes indeed; do not listen to him – and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14) ۩ 19
Allah the Almighty always says the truth.
