Surah Al-’Alaq (The Clot)

19 verses in 1 section.  The first five verses are among the first that were revealed to the Prophet -peace be upon him- in the cave of Hira.  Then the rest of the Surah was revealed when the message was presented to the people of Makkah and they began threatening the Prophet. The Surah speaks about the humble beginning of human beings, but the high position that they can receive if they follow the message of Allah.
