Prophet hood Seerah 6
Can you recognize what place this is? Mount Hira
Muhammad (pbuh) used to remember his Creator in the Cave of Hira. One day an angel appeared before him and asked him to read. He said that he did not know how to read. The angel pressed against his body and said: 'Read'. Muhammad replied again that he did not know how to read. The angel pressed against him and repeated his instruction. Muhammad again replied that he could not read. Inside Cave Hira The angel then pressed against him a third time and said: Read in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher….. (Surah Al Alaq, Al Qur’an) The Angel who brought this message from Allah was Jibril, peace be upon him, and the message was verses from the Qur'an. The angel, Jibril came to Muhammad (pbuh) on 17thRamadaan. The Prophet (pbuh) was 40 years at that time.
The more he remembered how the angel Jibril had brought Allah's message to him, the more his heart quivered. When he reached his house from the Cave of Hira, his heart was pounding and he was trembling all over. While Khadija comforted him, he told her what had happened. He was worried about the great responsibility AII-Mighty Allah had given him. Khadija knew her husband was a very good man. She had lived with him for fifteen years. She consoled him, she told him that he was a good man and always helped the needy so no evil will come to him. So the good wishes of all the people were with Muhammad, and Allah showers His mercy on such people. Khadija knew of an old man in Mecca who was very pious and had a great knowledge of books.

Waraqa said that indeed Prophethood had been bestowed by AII-Mighty Allah upon Muhammad. He added that people would mock him, but Allah would assist hirn and those who are virtuous would follow him. AII-Mighty Allah had chosen the best of human beings and had already prepared him to be worthy of this great mission. He had endowed him since birth with the best qualities that any human being could ever possess.
