First Revelation – Surah Al-`Alaq (The Clot)

-
In His middle age, Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ embarked on a spiritual journey of finding the purpose of existence on earth and True God. He used to visit a small cave of Hira present on the Peak of Jabl al Nur (Mountain of Light). At the age of 40, He (PBUH) finally received the first Revelation from Allah SWT sent through His Angel, Gabriel (Jibrael A.S) on 27th of Ramadan. Muslims all over the globe worship the Almighty Lord in last Ashra (10 Days of this Holy Month) to find Lailatul Qadr in association with discovery of the Sacred Book in it.
The account of the first Revelation that Rasulullah ﷺ received in Ghar (Cave) e Hira was narrated as follows:
“The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied ‘I do not know how to read’. The Prophet added, ‘The angel caught me (forcibly) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, “I do not know how to read”. Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read, but again I replied, “I do not know how to read” (or what shall I read?). Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said: “Read, in the name of Your Lord, who created, created man from a clot. Read! And Your Lord is the most bountiful” … (Bukhari)
In the previously stated recounting of the original happening, it can be deduced that the Messenger ﷺ Allah upon receiving the First Heavenly Exposure, was in a state of great surprise. Jibrael (A.S) repeatedly told Him to read by The Name of The Creator, although He (PBUH) had not the ability to do so. It shows that Allah SWT has blessed the entire world population through educating the Holy Prophet ﷺ first Who then became the source of ultimate enlightenment for His followers till the End of the World.
Surah Al-`Alaq is no doubt the very first Chapter to have been revealed on the Holy Prophet ﷺ but it comes on 96th number in the Hallowed Manuscript. It contains 19 Verses in total. It is short yet highly comprehensive Interval of Furqan e Hameed containing the most important instruction of getting knowledge and Knowing about the Creator of the universe.
