The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), 1 He created man from a clot of blood. 2 Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, 3 Who hath taught mankind by the pen 4 Has taught man that which he knew not. 5 Yet man behaves arrogantly, 6 In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient. 7 truly, all will return to your Lord. 8 Have you seen him who forbids 9 A slave when he prayeth? 10 Bethinkest thou, if he is himself guided, 11 or enjoins true piety? 12 Bethinkest thou, if he belieth and turneth away? 13 Does he not know that God sees? 14 Let him know that if he does not desist, We shall certainly drag him by his forelocks, 15 A lying, sinful forehead. 16 So let him call on his concourse! 17 We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! 18 Nay! (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))! Do not obey him (Abu Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah! ۩ 19
