THE FIRST REVELATION "READ"

"COVER ME! COVER ME!"

Late one Monday night, just before sunrise at a night of Ramadan (August 10, 610 C.E.), an event transformed the life of the man chosen to deliver Allah’s Message, just as it would change the lives of countless beings, most of whom were yet to be born. According to the lunar calendar, Muhammad was forty years, six months and twelve days old, and according to the solar calendar, he was thirty-nine years, three months and twentytwo days old.

He was alone in the cave of Hira, engaged in worshipping Allah just like he had done the previous two Ramadans. Aishah, who has narrated so many of the Prophet’s words and deeds, relates Muhammad’s transition from an ordinary man to someone who would forever be known simply as “the Prophet"

The Prophet first began to have revelations in the form of good dreams which came true. Then he began to like solitude. He would go to the cave of Hira and meditate there in solitude for a number of days and nights. He would take provisions with him to stay an extended period, and then he returned to Khadeejah. He would stock up again and go back to the cave. This was his practice until ‘Truth’ was revealed to him by an angel while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel said to him, “Read!"

“I cannot read,” Muhammad replied. The angel then took hold of him and pressed him until he could not endure it any longer. The angel let him go and said once again, “Read!”

“I cannot read,” Muhammad replied. The angel took hold of him a second time and pressed him until he could not endure it any longer. After letting him go, the angel said, “Read!” I cannot read Muhammad repeated. For a third time, the angel took hold of him and said, “Read in the name of your Lord, the Creator. He Who created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Bounteous.”

The Prophet was terrified and his heart was pounding hard. He returned home to Khadeejah and said, “Cover me Cover me” Khadeejah covered him and helped him calm down. He related what had happened in the cave, and said, “I fear that something has happened to me.”

“Never,” Khadeejah replied. “I swear by Allah, Allah would never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your family, help the feeble and destitute, serve your guests generously, and assist those who deserve help.”

Khadeejah then took the Prophet to her cousin, the old venerable Warqa bin Naufal. He knew Hebrew and was familiar with the Gospels, having left paganism for Christianity.

“O my cousin,” Khadeejah began. “Listen to your nephew.”

“What have you seen my nephew?” asked the old man. The Prophet told Waraqa what had happened in the cave. “The angel that was sent to you is the same angel that Allah sent to Musa. I wish I were young and could live to see the day your own people will drive you out of this city.” “Will they drive me out?” the Prophet asked.

“Yes,” replied Naufal. “Never has a man brought something such as what you have without meeting with hostility. If I live to see the day you are expelled, I will support you with all my might.” A few days later, however, Waraqa died, and a long time passed before the Prophet received a second revelation.

The Qur’an tells us that the first revelation descended in

Ramadan on the “Night of Power.” “The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed.” (2: 185)

And: “We have indeed revealed this Message during the

Night of Power.” (97: 1)

NEXT TIME Will be about the second revelation

Convergence of markets

Prophet of mercy (peace be upon him) told Muslims 1400 years ago about some future events that really happened today as we see in our life, let us read ….

Allah almighty says about day of resurrection: (Whoever hopes for the Meeting with Allah, then Allah's Term is surely coming and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower* And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, Allah stands not in need of any of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).)(Sûrat Al-‘Ankabût- verse 5-6) so that all of us must be ready for that day.

Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) said about that day:(day of resurrection will not come before the emergence of trials , lying increases, Convergence of markets and convergence of time ){Narrated by Ahmed}, in this noble Hadith the prophet told his companions about some future events that will happen and these events are signs for the imminence of day of resurrection as he spoke about these events at the time when Islam was weak and the prophet and his companions were striving to spread that religion but he was speaking as if he was living with us and see what is happening.

In that Hadith there are four miracles which represent our reality nowadays:

1. Emergence of trials

Look at what is happening in many Muslim countries: wars, fighting and conflicts on power …..All of these are happening in Muslim countries, why? Because we became away from principles of Islam and orders of Allah almighty, as a result we see these trials around us.

2. lying increases

Scientists all over the world are working hard to reveal lying and they are spending thousands of millions to invent an effective lying detection machine, also we see a lot of lying in newspapers and TV news around us as lying became an ordinary behavior around us. All of these weren't exist at the time of the prophet.

3. Convergence of markets

Nowadays, in all countries all over the world we see a lot of markets as we can see a market between two markets and this phenomenon wasn't exist at the time of the prophet.

4. convergence of time

in the past message used to take days and months to reach its destination but now we can send a message in a few seconds , also the news are flying between countries of the world in less than a second …isn't a convergence of time?

At the end we ask a simple question, who told that illiterate man about some future events and who told him that it will happen as he said that it will happen and didn’t say it may happen?...Indeed Allah almighty is the doer.

It is time for atheists to think and make a recalculation for their beliefs as they must understand and realize that Allah almighty is the source of this information as divine evidence that message of Islam is sincere.
