English Translation
2He created the human being from alaq.
Explanatory translation
2Do not be surprised that this prophetic mission has been given to you, and to see this truth, begin your reading with yourself! For your Lord shaped you in your mother’s womb from an alaq, that is, from an embryo that was no more than a drop-sized clot, and created you as a human being of perfect form. Stage by stage, He equipped that human being with the blessings that would sustain his life, and made him a distinguished being with the abilities to speak, think, read, learn, and teach. The power that did this is surely also able to grant you revelation.
