The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, 1 created Man of a blood-clot. 2 Read and your Lord is Most Honorable, 3 The One Who taught to write with the pen. 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses 6 For he thinks he is sufficient in himself. 7 Indeed towards your Lord only is the return. 8 Have you seen the one who forbids 9 a worshiper when he prays. 10 Have you thought, if he had been on guidance 11 or is concerned with God-consciousness? 12 Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward? 13 Does he not know that Allah does see? 14 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock - 15 A lying, sinning forelock. 16 Then let him call his associates; 17 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
True are the words of God the Almighty.
