Transliteration

Khalaqal insaanoml min 'alaq.

Translation
2. He has created man from a clot.

Tafsir

The Honor and Nobility of Man is in His
Knowledge

These Ayat inform of the beginning of man's creation from a dangling clot, and that out of Allah's generosity He taught man that which he did not know. Thus,
Allah exalted him and honored him by giving him knowledge, and it is the dignity that the Father of Humanity,
Adam, was distinguished with over the angels. Knowledge sometimes is in the mind, sometimes on the tongue, and sometimes in writing with the fingers. Thus, it may be intellectual, spoken and
written. And while the last (written)
necessitates the first two (intellectual and spoken), the reverse is not true.
