THE PROPHETsa RECEIVES HIS FIRST

REVELATION

When the Prophetsa was over thirty years of age, love of God and love of His worship began

to possess him more and more. Revolting against the mischiefs, misdeeds and the many vices of

the people of Mecca, he chose a spot two or three miles away for his meditations.

This was on top of a hill, a sort of cave shaped out of stone. His wife Khadijara would prepare

food enough for several days, and with this he would repair to the cave Hira. In the cave he

would worship God day and night. When he was forty years of age, he saw a vision. It was in

this very cave. He saw some one commanding him to recite.

The Prophetsa said in reply he did not know what or how to recite. The figure insisted and at last

made the Prophetsa recite the following verses:

Recite thou in the name of thy Lord Who created,

created man from a clot of blood. Recite! And thy

Lord is the Most Beneficent, Who taught man by the

pen, taught man what he knew not (96:2-6).

These verses, the first ever revealed to theProphetsa, became part of the Qur’an as did

other verses which were revealed later. They have tremendous meaning.

They command the Prophetsa to stand up and be ready to proclaim the name of the One God, the

One Creator—of the Prophetsa and of all others—Who has made man and sowed the seed of His

own love and that of fellow-men in his nature. The Prophetsa was commanded to proclaim the

Message of this God, and was promised help, and protection by Him in the proclamation of this

Message. The verses foretold a time when the world would be taught all manner of knowledge

through the instrumentality of the pen, and would be taught things never heard of before. The

verses constitute an epitome of the Qur’an. Whatever the Prophetsa was to be taught in later

revelations is contained in embryo in these verses. The foundation was laid in them of a great

and heretofore unknown advance in the spiritual progress of man. The meaning and explanation

of these verses will be found in their place in this Commentary. We refer to them here because

their revelation constitutes a great occasion in the life of the Prophetsa. When the Prophetsa

received this revelation, he was full of fear of the responsibility which God had decided to place

on his shoulders. Any other person in his place would have been filled with pride—he would

have felt that he had become great. The Prophetsa was different. He could achieve great things

but could take no pride in his achievement. After this great experience he reached home greatly

agitated, his face drawn.

On Khadija'sra enquiry, he narrated the whole experience to her and summed up his fears,

saying, "Weak man that I am, how can I carry the responsibility which God proposes to put

on my shoulders." Khadijara replied at once: God is witness, He has not sent you this Word that you should fail and prove unworthy, that He should then give you up. How can God do such a thing,

while you are kind and considerate to your relations, help the poor and the forlorn and bear their

burdens? You are restoring the virtues which had disappeared from our country. You treat guests with

honour and help those who are in distress. Can you be subjected by God to any trial? (Bukhari).

Having said this, Khadijara took the Prophetsa to her cousin, Waraqa bin Naufal, a Christian.

When he heard the account Waraqa said: "The angel who descended on Mosesas, I am sure, has descended on you" (Bukhari).
