Surah Al-Alaq
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), (1) He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) (2) Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, (3) Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. (4) He has taught man that which he knew not. (5) Nay! Verily, man does transgress (in disbelief and evil deed). (6) Because he considers himself self-sufficient. (7) Surely! unto your Lord is the return. (8) Have you (O Muhammad (SAW)) seen him (i.e. Abû Jahl) who prevents, (9) A slave (Muhammad (SAW)) when he prays? (10) Tell me, if he (Muhammad (SAW)) is on the guidance (of Allâh) (11) Or enjoins piety! (12) Tell me if he (Abû Jahl) denies (the truth, i.e. this Qur'ân), and turns away? (13) Knows he not that Allâh does see (what he does)? (14) Nay! If he (Abû Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock — (15) A lying, sinful forelock! (16) Then, let him call upon his council (of helpers), (17) We will call the guards of Hell (to deal with him)! (18) Nay! (O Muhammad (SAW))! Do not obey him (Abû Jahl). Fall prostrate and draw near to Allâh! (19)
