    (2058) LEC#2
    ‘CALL TO PROPHETHOOD’-’THE FIRST
    REVELATION’
    “CALL TO PROPHETHOOD”
     With the age and growing understanding, Hazrat
    Muhammad (P.B.U.H) became more aware of the
    corrupt society around him and it disturbed him
    greatly. He could not believe the Polytheistic ideas of
    the pagans of Mecca and often thought of the God of
    his forefathers; Ibrahim and Ismail. He did not follow
    any particular method of worship because he was not
    aware of any but he realised that there is a force of
    truth beyond this world which must have power and
    control over the whole universe.
    “SPELLS OF LONLINESS”
     A few years before the conferment of Prophet Hood,
    he became more and more fond of solitude. He
    started retiring for days with the supply of Dates,
    Oatmeal and water into a cave in a nearby mountain
    known as Hira . There he pondered and mediated
    over the condition of his people. These spells of
    loneliness and mediation became more frequent as he
    approached the age of 40 years.
    “THE FIRST REVELATION”
     One day, towards the end of Ramadan, 610 AD he was in the cave of
    Hira, when  Angel Jibrael appeared before him and asked him to
    read. This was so sudden and unexpected that startled by the strange
    voice, he answered, “I cannot read”. Then he felt that he was being
    hugged and squeezed so hard that he thought that he would die of
    suffocation. He was then released and the request to read was
    repeated, “I cannot read”, replied Muhammad (P.B.U.H) again. The
    Angel again hugged him and asked him to read, Muhammad
    (P.B.U.H) was afraid of being squeezed a third time so he asked,
    “What shall I read?”.Then, the angel recited the following first five
    verses of Suarh Alaq.
    “Read in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created.
    Created man out of a clot of congealed blood. Proclaim! And thy
    Lord is most bountiful , who taught the (use of ) pen, taught man
    that which he knew not”.
    “CONFERMENT OF PROPHETHOOD”
     Mohammad (P.B.U.H) recited these verses after the angel and the words were
    imprinted on his mind. This was the first reveletion and the beginning of the
    Prophethood of Mohammad (P.B.U.H). He was then 40 years old. Muhammad
    (P.B.U.H) was greatly he shaken by this experience and he then out of the cave.
    Suddenly, he heard a voice and raising his head in the sky he saw the same angel
    in the sky filling the whole horizon and saying, “O Muhammad! you are the
    messenger of Allah and I am Jibrael”.

     Whichever way he looked, he saw the same vision and heared the same voice. He
    stood there until the angel disappeared, after the experience he came home and
    narrated the incident to Hazrat Khadija (R.A). She comforted him and assured
    him that no harm could come to a man of his nature and that Allah would protect
    him from all the evils. Then she took him to her cousin Warqa bin Nauwfal, who
    was scholarly person and had embraced Christianity. After hearing to what had
    happened to her husband in the cave of Hira, he said that it was the angel Jibrael
    who had always brought revelations to previous Messengers of God. He also
    informed her that his enemies would turn the new Prophet out of his city.
