The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), 1 Created man from a clot. 2 Recite: and your Lord is Most Generous, 3 who, by the pen, taught the human being: 4 The One Who taught man all what he did not know. 5 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, 6 that he sees himself sufficed. 7 Verily unto thy Lord is the return. 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 a worshipper from praying? 10 Bethinkest thou, if he is himself guided, 11 or orders piety? 12 What will happen if the prohibiting rejects the Truth and turns away from it!? 13 Does he, then, not know that God sees [all]? 14 Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,- 15 A forelock, lying, sinning. 16 Then let him summon his council, 17 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
God Almighty has spoken the truth.
