Surah Al-Alaq (Chapter 96), specifically its first five verses beginning with 'Iqra' (Read), was the first portion of the Qur'an to be revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in the Cave of Hira. This revelation came through Angel Jibril (Gabriel) and marked the beginning of prophethood. Surah Al-Fatihah, though the opening chapter of the Qur'an, was not the first to be revealed.
