The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Read (Prophet Muhammad) in the Name of your Lord who created, 1 created man from a clot [of blood]. 2 Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- 3 who has taught [man] the use of the pen 4 taught man what he did not know! 5 Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious. 6 for he thinks himself self-sufficient. 7 Surely! Unto your Lord is the return. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 A bondman of Ours when he prayeth 10 Have you considered if he were on the right way, 11 or orders piety? 12 What do you think? Have you seen if he belies and turns away, 13 Does he not know that God sees? 14 Indeed, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock, 15 A lying, sinful forelock! 16 So, let him call upon his way! 17 We will call the angels of Hell. 18 No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord). ۩ 19
