The Clot is the first revelation sent to Prophet Muhammad in the cave of Hira, on Jabal An-Nur mountain, near Mecca. As the Quran is arranged from the longest to the shortest surah, following traditional order, The Clot is placed on chapter 96, containing 19 verses.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. Proclaim! (or read!) in
the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created
2. Created man, out of a
(mere) clot of congealed blood:
3. Proclaim! And thy Lord
is Most Bountiful,-
4. He Who taught (the use
of) the pen,-
5. Taught man that which
he knew not.
6. Nay, but man doth
transgress all bounds,
7. In that he looketh
upon himself as self-sufficient.
8. Verily, to thy Lord is
the return (of all).
9. Seest thou one who
forbids-
10. A votary when he
(turns) to pray?
11. Seest thou if he is
on (the road of) Guidance?-
12. Or enjoins
Righteousness?
13. Seest thou if he
denies (Truth) and turns away?
14. Knoweth he not that
God doth see?
15 Let him beware! If he
desists not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
16. A lying, sinful
forelock!
17. Then, let him call
(for help) to his council (of comrades):
18. We will call on the
angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
19. Nay, heed him not: But
bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to God)!
