you, wrapped-up' (Al-Muddaththir)." I said, "I have been informed that it was, 'Read, in the Name of your Lord who created (i.e. Surat Al-Alaq) Abu Huraira reported: We performed prostration along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (as he recited these verses: )" When the heaven burst asunder" (Al-Inshiqaq) and" Read in the name of Thy Lord (Al-Alaq)" 1–3: These verses are talking about how God created human beings from Alaq (The Clot of blood or The Clinging Thing). After this verse was revealed, Muhammed responded by saying that he didn't know how to read. After angel Jibraeel squeezed Muhammed's chest a few times, and the 3rd verse was revealed, Muhammed read even though he did not know how to read or write. 4–5: These verse stress the importance of an education for a Muslim. As time goes on, things progress and advance, and everything comes from God. God opens peoples brains to new things, and this verse stresses the importance of furthering your education. This hadeeth in relation to this ayah was revealed which says: “a person who reads is handsome in the eyes of God.” 6–8: Even though God does so many things for us we still disobey him. Some people say that they do not need Allah. It does not matter because everyone will return to him on the Day of Judgement for reckoning. 9–10: In this verse “the one who discourages” references Abu Jahl when he tried to stop Muhammed from making devotions towards Allah, and anyone else for that matter. 11–14: These verses question whether the “one who discourages” is being “guided” or even “concerned” about god. They also emphasize that if someone is praying not to stop them because Allah is always watching. 15–19: These verse explain why the person who interrupts someone in prayer is said that they will be dragged from their “lying, sinful, forelock.” This phrase comes from Abu Jahl, who in the battle of Badr was killed by the hands of 2 child orphans of Medinah. His body was thrown into a well and they dragged him by his hair, which is specifically in reference to verse 15. Period of revelation This sura has two parts: the first consists of vv. 1–5, and the second of vv. 6–19. The majority of Islamic scholars agreed that the first part forms the first revelation to be sent down to Muhammad in 610.
