DID YOU KNOW? That FALAQ (to rip open something and something comes out of it) includes the meaning of KHALAQ (that which is Created) as mentioned in many arabic lexicons. Because everything which has been created comes out of something that has been torn. Examples of this; - Water springs out of mountains. – Water tears out from the clouds. – Plants tear through the Earth and come out of it (Nabat min al ardd) – Children from the wombs of their mothers. So Falaq is similar to ‘Created’ in meaning – because all life comes into existence through tearing out through something else. Falaq = The morning Daybreak when the sun just cracks through the night, everything which forms through tearing of creation (including humans, plants, animals, bacteria [amoeba], the sky [day/night] etc.). All these are included. Allah is signifying in these ayahs that He is the Master of birth, of life. Because this tearing open signifies; the birth of the day from the night, the birth of rain tearing from the clouds which gives life to the dead earth – giving it life, providing life food for all living beings – who give birth to children.. etc. Lam yaLid wa lam yuLad – He was not born, nor was He given birth to. (Surah ikhlas 112:3). He owns the Creation, He is not part of the creation. A L L A H U - A K B A R !!
