About Surah Al-'Alaq
Al-'Alaq, “The Clinging Clot”, contains the very first verses of the Quran revealed to the Prophet ﷺ in the cave of Hira: “Read in the name of your Lord who created, created man from a clinging clot. Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous, who taught by the pen.”
The rest of the surah, revealed later, warns a man who tried to stop the Prophet ﷺ from praying, and ends with a place of prostration: “Prostrate and draw near.”
