1. Muhammad in the Bible

The first revelation Prophet Muhammad saw. (pbuh) received in cave of Hira`

Written by > Dr. A. Zahoor and Dr. Z.Haq

Muhammad (s) was forty when, during his one of many retreats to Mount Hira for

meditation during the month of Ramadan, he received the first revelation from the

Archangel Jibril (Gabriel). On this first appearance, Gabriel (as) said to Muhammad: "Iqraa,"

meaning Read or Recite. Muhammad replied, "I cannot read," as he had not received any

formal education and did not know how to read or write. The Angel Gabriel then embraced

him until he reached the limit of his endurance and after releasing said: "Iqraa."

Muhammad’s answer was the same as before. Gabriel repeated the embrace for the third

time, asked him to repeat after him and said:

"Recite in the name of your Lord who created! He created man from that which clings.

Recite; and thy Lord is most Bountiful, He who has taught by the pen, taught man what he

knew not."

These revelations are the first five verses of Surah (chapter) 96 of the Qur’an. Thus it was in

the year 610 CE the revelation began.
