For Muslims, Ramadan is not merely a month of fasting and increased acts of worship, but one of profound spiritual significance. On the 17th day of Ramadan, known as Nuzul al-Quran, the first revelation was sent down to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), marking the beginning of his prophethood. The first revelation comprised the opening five verses of Surah al-Alaq, which form the foundation of Islamic faith and education. Among its central messages is the call for humanity to recognise Allah through His creations and to pursue knowledge as a path to knowing the Creator.
