Sorah Al-'alaq ( The Clot ) - Verses Number 19
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ ( 1 ) 
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ( 2 )
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ ( 3 )
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ ( 4 )
He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ( 5 )
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ ( 6 )
Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,
أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 7 )
In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ ( 8 )
Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ ( 9 )
Seest thou one who forbids-
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ ( 10 )
A votary when he (turns) to pray?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ ( 11 )
Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ ( 12 )
Or enjoins Righteousness?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 13 )
Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ( 14 )
Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ ( 15 )
Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ ( 16 )
A lying, sinful forelock!
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ ( 17 )
Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ ( 18 )
We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب ۩ ( 19 )
Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)!

- A Calm Dialogue between Sunnah and ShiaIn this book, Dr. Abdur-Rahman Dimashqeyyah shows and discusses the wrong believes in Shii doctrine. He said in his introduction, "… My intention is simply to make clear to every Shia what the books of their religious leaders contain. These are things that many people still do not realize. My intention is to maintain an objective position, far from bigotry and blind allegiance to traditions. My only reason for writing it is to earn the pleasure of Allah and to clarify the truth to all who are interested to hear it. We should all free ourselves from prejudice and wild ideas, and avoid making inflammatory and insulting charges that fuel the emotions, block the path to truth, and widen the chasm between us. These things do nothing but dissipate the spirit of peace and harmony."
