A Brief Tour through the Qur’an

The first revealed chapter of the Qur’an, Al-‘Alaq (literally, clinging clot), speaks in particular of the creation of humankind and its origin, a clinging clot. That little origin of simple composition is elevated by God to the rank of man and woman, who can be taught, who can learn, which reveals more about the Grace of our Creator than it does about His Power. Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous.

Reading the Noble Qur’an gives the feeling that the speaker is all around, seeing and hearing everything; all-knowing of us – every feeling, every thought, every memory, every good or evil tendency; all-knowing of the heavens and earth – every atom, every breath of air, every grain of sand, every fruit on every tree; and all-knowing of the past, present, and future – every moment, every event, every detail. He knows what enters into the earth and what comes forth from it, what descends from the sky and what ascends to it. He is with you wherever you may be. And Allah1 is the All-Seer of what you do. [Al-Hadid 57: 4-6].
