إقرا (ikra), arabic for read... Sūrat al-‘Alaq (العلق”The Clot”), is the 96th sura or chapter of the Qur’an. The first five verses of this sura are believed to be the first verses of the Qur’an to be revealed to prophet Muhammad. It is composed of 19 Ayat (verses or “signs”), and is traditionally believed to have been revealed at Mecca. It is sometimes also known as Sūrat al-Iqrā (إقرا, “Recite”) or Sūrat al-Qalam (القلم, “The Pen”). In this sura, God presents a concise but compelling argument: Man is a creature of wonder, beginning with its development from a biomass (or Alaq), who has been granted the gift of sentience by God. Then as a being Man divides into two distinct groups: those who recognize their cosmic condition, seek divine guidance (by ‘reading’ God’s word), and bow to God’s will (symbolized by ‘prostration’); and those who even in the face of these apparent wonders of Man’s condition, consider the Human to be an ‘independent’ entity, answerable to no transcendent authority, and even more contentiously, take it upon themselves to prevent the first class of Man from following God’s Word and submitting to him. God then states that the first type of Man, the believer, is the righteous one, and that the second class is both in error and is in fact a “lying and sinful” creature. The sura concludes with God’s warning to the denier that the “guards of Hell” await, and that such men should cease from denying the believer the right to worship unmolested by them. The sura’s last verse are words of encouragement to the believer to “not yield” to the threats of unbelievers but to continue in persistence in obeying God, and a promise of nearness to God for such a believer. QUR’AN, SURA THE CLOT, “READ!” [96.1] Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, / [96.2] Createth man from a clot. / [96.3] Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, / [96.4] Who teacheth by the pen, / [96.5] Teacheth man that which he knew not. / [96.6] Nay, but verily man is rebellious / [96.7] That he thinketh himself independent! / [96.8] Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. / [96.9] Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth / [96.10] A slave when he prayeth? / [96.11] Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) / [96.12] Or enjoineth piety? / [96.13] Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah’s guidance) and is froward? / [96.14] Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? / [96.15] Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock – / [96.16] The lying, sinful forelock – / [96.17] Then let him call upon his henchmen! / [96.18] We will call the guards of hell. / [96.19] Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).

Islamic feminism is a form of feminism concerned with the role of women in Islam. It aims for the full equality of all Muslims, regardless of sex or gender, in public and private life. Islamic feminists advocate women’s rights, gender equality, and social justice grounded in an Islamic framework. Although rooted in Islam, the movement’s pioneers have also utilised secular and European or non-Muslim feminist discourses and recognize the role of Islamic feminism as part of an integrated global feminist movement. Advocates of the movement seek to highlight the deeply rooted teachings of equality in the Quran and encourage a questioning of the patriarchal interpretation of Islamic teaching through the Quran (holy book), Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad) and Sharia (Islamic law) towards the creation of a more equal and just society. In general, it can be categorized as one of the more liberal movements within Islam.

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh (Arabic: محمّد; Transliteration: Muḥammad, also Mohammed) Born in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at a young age and was brought up under the care of his uncle. He later worked mostly as a merchant, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that “God is One”, that complete “surrender” to Him (lit. islām) is the only way (dīn) acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and other prophets in Islam. Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from some tribes of Mecca; he was treated harshly and so were his followers. To escape persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622. This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina Muhammad managed to unite the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca. In 632 a few months after returning to Medina from his Farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of his death most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam and he united the tribes of Arabia into a singular Muslim religious polity. The revelations (or Ayats, lit. “Signs of God”), which Muhammad reported receiving until his death, form the verses of the Qur’an, regarded by Muslims as the “word of God”, around which his religion is based. Besides the Qur’an, Muhammad’s life (Sira) and traditions (Sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase “peace be upon him” whenever their names are mentioned.
