We mention some famous incidents related to Surah Al-Alaq

1. Abdullah bin Masud) reported that Allah’s Messenger (PBUH), who is the most truthful (of the human beings) and his being truthful (is a fact), said:

Verily your creation is on this wise. The constituents of one of you are collected for forty days in his mother’s womb in the form of blood, after which it becomes a clot of blood in another period of forty days. Then it becomes a lump of flesh, and forty days later, Allah sends His angel to it with instructions concerning four things, so the angel writes down his livelihood, death, deeds, fortune, and misfortune. By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him, and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell. Another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him. Then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.

(Sahih Muslim: 6390)

2. Narrated to Hazrat Abdullah ibn e Amar ibn al-Aas:

I used to write everything I heard from Allah’s Messenger (PBUH). I intended (by it) to memorize it. The Quraysh prohibited me, saying: Do you write everything that you hear from him while the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is a human being: he speaks in anger and pleasure? So I stopped writing and mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). He signaled with his finger to his mouth and said: Write, by Him in Whose hand my soul lies, only right comes out from it.

(Sunan Abi Dawud: 3646)

3. Abdul-Wahid bin Sulaim narrated:

“I arrived in Makkah and met Ata bin Abi Rabah. I said to him: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The people of Al-Basrah speak about Al-Qadar.’ He said: ‘O my son! Do you recite the Holy Quran?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then recite Az-Zukhruf to me.'” He said: ‘So I recited: Ha Mim. By the manifest Book. Verily, We have made it a Quran in Arabic that you may be able to understand. And certainly, it is in the Mother of Book with Us, indeed exalted, full of wisdom. Then he said: ‘Do you know what Mother of Books is?’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said:’It a book that Allah wrote before He created the Heavens and the earth. It is (written): Firawn is among the inhabitants of the Fire, and in it is: Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!’ Ata said: ‘I met Al-Walid the son of ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and asked him:’What was your father’s admonition when he died?” He said: “He called me and said: ‘O my son! Have Taqwa of Allah, and know that you will never have Taqwa of Allah until you believe in Allah, and you believe in Al-Qadar- all of it-its good and its bad. If you die upon other than this, you shall enter the Fire. Indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying: “Verily the first of what Allah created was the Pen. So He said: ‘Write.’ It said: ‘What shall I write?’ He said: ‘Write Al-Qadar, what it is, and what shall be, until the end.
