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 from a clot [of blood]. 2 Recite: And thy Lord is the Most Generous, 3 who, by the pen, taught the human being: 4 taught Man that he knew not. 5 Nay, but verily man is rebellious 6 for he thinks himself self-sufficient. 7 However, (all things) will return to your Lord. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 a servant of Ours from prayer? 10 Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) 11 and enjoins piety? 12 Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? 13 Does he not know that Allah does see? 14 Let him know that if he does not desist, We shall certainly drag him by his forelocks, 15 By the lying, the sinful forelock. 16 Then let him summon his council, 17 We will call the guards of hell. 18 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). ۩ 19
Allah Almighty has spoken the truth.
