The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Read with the name of your Lord Who created, 1 Createth man from a clot. 2 Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One 3 who has taught [man] the use of the pen 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 By no means: Verily man exorbitateth. 6 Because he sees himself free from want. 7 for, behold, unto thy Sustainer all must return. 8 Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth 9 a servant [of God] from praying? 10 Did you consider: what if he is on the Right Way, 11 or if he commands others to maintain piety!? 12 Have you seen if he denies and turns away - 13 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? 14 Let him know that if he does not desist, We shall certainly drag him by his forelocks, 15 a lying, sinful forelock. 16 and then let him summon [to his aid] the counsels of his own [spurious] wisdom, 17 We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! 18 Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah). ۩ 19
