Al-Qalam
The PenRevealed in the earliest Makkan period, soon after al-ʿAlaq, as the leaders of Quraysh began to dismiss the Prophet ﷺ as a madman. God answers by swearing an oath by the pen and declaring that His Messenger stands upon a magnificent character.
Al-ʿAlaq
The ClotRevealed in the Cave of Ḥirāʾ on the Mountain of Light (Jabal al-Nūr) near Makkah, before the Prophet ﷺ was commanded to proclaim the message publicly. This was the moment the unseen world broke into human history and the final prophethood began.
