سورة العلق96:1-3Tafseer of Verses 1-3
Deep dive into the first three verses revealed to the Prophet ﷺ. Why Allah began with 'Read', the proclamation of His Lordship, the creation of man, and the honor bestowed upon humanity.

سورة العلق96:4-5Tafseer of Verses 4-5
Continuing our exploration of the first revelation. The significance of the pen, the teaching of what man did not know, and the foundation of Islamic learning and scholarship.
