The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), 1 created Man of a blood-clot. 2 Read - for thy Sustainer is the Most Bountiful One 3 who, by the pen, taught the human being: 4 He taught the human being what he did not know. 5 Indeed, surely the human is very insolent 6 that he sees himself sufficed. 7 Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. 8 Did you see him who forbids 9 a worshipper from praying? 10 Bethinkest thou, if he is himself guided, 11 Or enjoined guarding (against evil)? 12 Do you see how he has denied the truth and turned away from it? 13 Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 A lying, sinning forelock. 16 Then let him call his associates; 17 We will call the guards of hell. 18 Nay, pay thou no heed to him, but prostrate thyself [before God] and draw close [unto Him]! ۩ 19
God the Almighty always says the truth.
