In the spirit of Nuzul Al-Quran, let us ponder upon Surah Al-Alaq in which the first five verses is the first revelation that has been revealed to our Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Recitation by: @ujanglarseyy

Allah SWT directs every individual to get acquainted with His instructions by taking His Name, as He is the One Who produced a person from a lump of blood.

Then, He tells about His Kindness that He has bestowed upon all human beings. He then educated a man by giving it conscious and understanding, and things which he never knew before.

Ayat 1: Reading In The Name Of Allah SWT

The very first Ayat of Surah Al-Alaq emphasizes on reading and interpreting the meaning of the Holy Quran with the Assistance of the Most Merciful.

Ayat 2: Creation Of A Man From A Clot Of Blood

Alaq is an Arabic word that means “Clinging or Attachment”. The second Verse of this Blessed Chapter of the Holy Quran sheds light on the process of creation of every human in the womb of its mother.

Ayat 3: Reading In The Name Of Allah Who is Most Generous

The third Ayah of Surah Al-Alaq stresses on both acquiring knowledge and remembering the countless Blessings of Allah SWT as He refers to Himself here as “Akram - the Most Generous”

Ayat 4: The One Who Taught By Pen

In the 4th Verse of this Sacred Chapter, Allah SWT indicates towards His Blessing upon humanity to learn, acquire and preserve knowledge with the help of a pen.

Ayat 5: Knowing About Things Not Known Before

The last and final Ayat of the First Revelation is about letting one know about the great significance of the Holy Quran and its teachings.

Lastly, the initial revelation of the Holy Quran that was disclosed upon Rasulullah SAW by Allah SWT contains the greatest virtues in itself. Indeed, this Sacred Chapter of Quran Majeed serves as a great stepping stone to think about Allah's Mercy and Graciousness in all matters.
