The Dawn of Prophethood: The First Revelation
The first revelation marks a pivotal moment in Islamic history—the moment when the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received the divine message from Allah, forever altering the course of mankind’s spiritual journey. It was during the quiet solitude of the Cave of Hira, nestled in the mountains near Mecca, that Jibreel (Gabriel) appeared to the Prophet, commanding him to “Read” (Iqra) the first words of the Quran. This moment not only signified the beginning of Prophethood but also marked the start of a mission that would bring light to humanity.
