Ch 3: The First Revelation
The First Revelation:
At the age of 40, while he was in solitude at Hira’, Muhammad experienced the first incident of
revelation. He said the Angel Gabriel came to him and instructed him in the
following words, which later became known as the first revealed verses of the
Quran:
{{ Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who
has created (all that exists), Has created man from a
clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most
Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen [the first person to write was
Prophet Idrees (Enoch)], Has taught man that which he knew not. }}, (Holy Qur'an 96:1-5 ).
Muhammad’s response to this initial experience was plenty of
fear and shock. He returned home and was comforted by his tender wife Khadijah, who later became the first believer in his
message.
In the following years, the Angel Gabriel instructed Muhammad to
take the words of the Qur'an to the public.
