This surah may refer to the birth of a new deed (good or bad)

It was the first surah ever revealed.

Recite in the name of your Lord Who created / your Master,

1

taught man what he did not know.

Nay, surely man transgresses;

5 / [Beware to not be proud especially when taught something]

once they think they are self-sufficient.

7 / [Thinking that your self as self sufficient is a clot to smooth progress? / advancing rewards]

Nay, verily, man becomes grossly overweenin / Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds

whenever they / he believes himself to be self-sufficient

for, behold, unto thy Sustainer all must return

6 / Humankind should go back to God.

Wait until shock is gone to think of future action. (Also don't think in anger)

Have you seen the man who prevents

a servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying?¹

9 / [Physically / beware of such people / situations]

Did you consider: what if he gives the lie (to the Truth) and turns away (from it)?²

13

📿

No indeed; if he does not desist, We shall drag him by the forelock;

15

So let him summon his helpmates;

We too shall summon the guards of Hell.

17

No, not at all. Never obey him. But prostrate yourself and become nigh (to your Lord).

19 / Make sure you're on God's team all the time.
