The first revelation to the Prophet (SAW) is Qur'an chapter

The first revelation to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was Qur'an chapter 96, which is called "Surah Al-Alaq" (The Clot or The Clinging Clot). This is the 96th chapter in the current order of the Quran and it consists of five verses. Surah Al-Alaq begins with the command "Read! In the name of your Lord, who created" and continues with the message of the importance of seeking knowledge and the consequences of neglecting it. It was during the month of Ramadan in the year 610 CE when the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) came to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and delivered the first five verses of this chapter. This event is known as "Iqra" or "the first revelation" and marks the beginning of the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This momentous event is considered a turning point in the history of Islam and is celebrated every year as "Laylat al-Qadr" (the Night of Power) during the last ten days of Ramadan.
