The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, 1 Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: 2 Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, 3 Who taught (to write) with the pen 4 Taught man what he knew not. 5 By no means: Verily man exorbitateth. 6 As he considers himself independent! 7 Indeed, to your Lord is the returning. 8 Bethinkest thou him who forbiddeth, 9 a servant when he prays -- 10 Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) 11 and enjoins piety? 12 Do you see how he has denied the truth and turned away from it? 13 Did he not know that God sees? 14 Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock, 15 his lying, sinful forelock. 16 Let him call on his associates for help 17 We shall call on the guards of Hell. 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
