Over my winter break Allah subhanho wa ta3ala has blessed me with the ability to wake up early enough to go to fajr prayer at the masjid. Alhamd lel Allah it was a great bleassing from Allah subhanaho wa ta3ala. Allah has also blessed me with an amazing brother his name is brother sherif. Brother Sherif used to sit with me and two of my friends from college after fajr prayer and talk to us about religion. One day he talked to us about the importance of not just gaining knowledge but also spreading it. That day he made us promis him that what ever knowldge we gain from him we have to share it with however how many people we can. That was one of the reasons why I have created this blog to share that knowldge. Today I will start with the tafsir of surah al-3alaq.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. In the name of Allah the most gracious, the most mercyful.
First lets talk about the signifcant of the title of the surah العلق. This word comes from the root word معلق which means hanging. This is one of the mirecals of the Quran in sience. العلق has two meanings in the dictionary one is a leach and the other is a clut. In the Quran it is the second meaning that is meant. It is the clut that is hanging in the woman's wond. It is hanging in the mercy of Allah SWT because if it drops then this is what we would call a miss carage. Even before your soul was put in you were in the lords mercy hanging not knowing what will be your fate.
