"Recite in the name of your Lord who created – Created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the Most Generous – Who taught by the pen – Taught man that which he knew not.” (Quran 96:1-5). These were the first verses of the Quran to be revealed to the Prophet (PBUH). The angel Jibrail (a.s.) urged the Prophet (PBUH) to read the verses of the Quran that he was narrating.
