He Holy Prophet (PBUH) had great love for the Almighty God, and since his early age he was trying to establish his relation with Him. This is why he used to spend lot of his time in praying and supplicating to God. He was not after the material world; rather he was in search of his Creator. When he was about forty years old, it was his routine to take a very small quantity of food and water to a cave named Hira, near Mecca, and spend days in prayers and fasting, just to seek the pleasure of the Almighty God. And finally in such a situation he received the first revelation from God, through the angel Gabriel. That was the first appearance of the angel to the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH). The angel said, “Read” and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, “I cannot read.” Again the angel said, “Read” and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) gave the same reply. Then for the third time the angel said:
‘Read in the name of thy Lord who created. Created man from a clot of blood’. (Holy Qur’an, 96:2-3)
And the Prophet started reading. The Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was not a super being; he was a human chosen by God for the guidance of human beings.
‘Read in the name of thy Lord who created. Created man from a clot of blood’. (Holy Qur’an, 96:2-3)
And the Prophet started reading. The Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was not a super being; he was a human chosen by God for the guidance of human beings.
