Blessing of Knowledge
Read the whole Soora with the Commentary at 096-All
This is the very first revelation. These verses state the earliest of Almighty God’s blessings conferred on man. They were followed by enumerating many more blessings throughout the Holy Qor-aan. I believe that this first revelation carries a forecast — whoever starts reading and paying heed to the contents of the verses 096-010 to 096-014 will know what lies ahead as a believer. Making use of these blessings can set anyone on way to get close to the Almighty Allah, particularly when coupled with the prayer “Go, add to my knowledge” – 020:115.

Who taught with the pen – the instrument to write with. This was a forecast about the spread of information and knowledge by the prolific medium of publication that was not very common in seventh century when the revelation of the Holy Qor-ann was commenced.
The Holy Qor-aan 096:006 عَلَّمَ الۡاِنۡسَانَ مَا لَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡؕ
Ulla-mul-in-saa-na-maa-lum-yau-lum
He taught man what he knew not (= did not know before)
