Surah Al-‘Alaq

In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah Al-‘Alaq, the first revelation sent to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). This Makkan chapter emphasizes the importance of knowledge, the creation of humanity, and the consequences of arrogance.

This episode covers:

• The first command: “Read in the name of your Lord”, highlighting the power of knowledge

• The creation of man from a clot, emphasizing humble beginnings

• The honor of learning and writing, as a gift from Allah

• The warning against arrogance and rebellion, particularly directed at those who hinder the truth

• A call to prostration and drawing closer to Allah, as the ultimate path to success

Surah Al-‘Alaq is a profound reminder of the significance of seeking knowledge, staying humble, and remaining steadfast in faith. It urges believers to acknowledge Allah’s mercy and resist those who try to turn them away from the truth.
