Surah Al-‘Alaq begins with the first revealed command: read in the name of your Lord who created. Knowledge begins with Allah, not ego.

Allah is the Most Generous, the One who taught by the pen and taught the human being what he did not know. Learning, writing, memory, and understanding are gifts from Him.
