The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
READ in the name of thy Sustainer, who has created 1 created man from a clot of congealed blood. 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Generous, 3 Who hath taught mankind by the pen 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 Nay, but verily man is rebellious 6 because he thinks that he is independent. 7 Indeed, to your Lord is the return. 8 Have you seen one who prevents 9 a worshipper from praying? 10 Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?- 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 Have you seen if he denies and turns away - 13 Does he not know that Allah sees? 14 Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, 15 his lying sinful forelock. 16 So let him summon his helpmates; 17 We, will call the Zabania (the harsh angels of Hell). 18 Nay, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)! ۩ 19
