The Embryo (Al-Alaq)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Read (Prophet Muhammad) in the Name of your Lord who created, 1 created man from a clot of congealed blood. 2 Recite! Your Lord is the most Honorable One, 3 who taught by the pen, 4 taught the human what he did not know. 5 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, 6 that he sees himself sufficed. 7 Surely to your Lord is the return. 8 Have you seen one who prevents 9 A servant when he prays? 10 Do you think he is rightly guided, 11 Or enjoineth piety? 12 Hast thou considered whether he may [not] be giving the lie to the truth and turning his back [upon it]? 13 does he not know that Allah sees? 14 Nay, if he desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead 15 a lying, sinful forelock. 16 Let him call on his associates for help 17 We shall summon the guards of Hell. 18 No, indeed; do not obey him! Prostrate and come nearer (to Allah). ۩ 19
