The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Read! 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 He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- 4 Hath taught man that which he knew not. 5 Yet man behaves arrogantly, 6 That he thinketh himself independent! 7 for, behold, unto thy Sustainer all must return. 8 Have you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) seen him (i.e. Abu Jahl) who prevents, 9 a worshiper when he prays. 10 Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 What thinkest thou? If he cries lies, and turns away - 13 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? 14 Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, 15 a lying, sinful forelock. 16 So let him summon his helpmates; 17 We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
