Briefly explain the main themes in verses 1-5 of Surah Alaq and explain their importance in a Muslim’s life.

Main Themes:
These five verses of Surah Alaq are the first Divine revelation to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) while he was meditating in Cave Hira in the month of Ramadan. This revelation gave the cognizance of Allah that He is the Creator of everything that exists. The creation of man in particular in mentioned because he is the most superior creature on the earth and who is created with the best stature from a clot of blood. The Generous God granted him senses and the power of thinking, created requisites of his life and embedded in his instinct how to use them and gave him knowledge and wisdom of the Truth. Without knowledge, guidance of the mankind is not possible. So before giving the responsibility of Prophethood, Allah gave knowledge to His Messenger. The earlier prophets were also bestowed with the blessing of knowledge. The Quran says, "And He taught Adam the names of all things..." (2:31).
