Today I will tell you the great scene in which the best book was revealed to the best Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, so open your hearts to me.
Ahmed El-Gohary Abdel-Gawad
God sent many prophets and messengers, the best of whom is Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he revealed many books, the best of which is the Holy Qur’an. It possesses the merit of all of these two aspects. It is the best book that God has sent down, and it is the best messenger among God’s messengers that was sent down.
Today I will tell you the great scene in which the best book was revealed to the best Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, so open your hearts to me and give me your ears. To tell you this scene as it happened on that strange night:
My name is Ghar Hira.
You may have heard my name before.
And you will know me well when you look at my picture. You will see a place at the top of the mountain, which looks like a small room. I am located in Jabal al-Nour, one of the mountains of Mecca.
In the distant past, before God sent our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with Islam, our Prophet used to come to me, worship within me, think about the heavens and the earth, and pray to their Creator, Glory be to Him.
One night in the blessed month of Ramadan, a strange thing happened. Our Prophet Muhammad was praying to God as usual, praying to God and worshiping, when a great angel from God’s angels came to him. He descended upon him from heaven. This great king was Gabriel, peace be upon him, the archangel, and he is trustworthy. The revelation that is sent down by the commands of God Almighty to His prophets and messengers, and it is what was revealed in the Qur’an to our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. And peace be upon him. Gabriel, peace be upon him, stood before our Prophet, embraced him, and said to him:
♦ Read, Muhammad!
♦ The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, answered him; He said to him: I am not good at reading, and our Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was illiterate and could not read or write, and God did not decree for him to learn to read and write. So that his miracle is that he comes up with a book the likes of which all readers and writers are unable to come up with, so his miracle is that he is a prophet from God.
♦ Gabriel confirmed the matter to the Prophet, and said to him: Read, O Muhammad!
♦ The Prophet confirmed the answer: I am not good at reading.
♦ Gabriel returned to say to our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace: Read!
♦ The Prophet says the same answer: I am not good at reading!
♦ After Gabriel confirmed that the Prophet could not read on his own, he told him about the Qur’an that had come to him from God, by saying, Glory be to Him: {﴿Read in the name of your Lord who created * He created man from a clot * Read, and your Lord is Most Generous * He who taught by the pen * He taught man what he did not know.} [العلق: 1 – 5].
Gabriel, peace be upon him, read these verses to our Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and then he left. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, then went to his home and told his wife, Mrs. Khadija, may God be pleased with her. She went with him to her cousin Waraqah ibn Nawfal, and he was a scholar, so the Prophet told him what he had seen and what He heard and read to him the verses that Gabriel had read to him. Waraqah, may God be pleased with him, smiled and reassured the Prophet and told him that this The angel who brought the Qur’an to him is the angel of revelation, Gabriel, and it is he who used to send it down to God’s prophets and messengers, and this means that he is the prophet of this nation.
Thus, my dear ones, the Qur’an was revealed to our Prophet on the Night of Destiny, in the month of Ramadan. As God Almighty said: { “The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.”} [البقرة: 185] And as God Almighty said to us: { ﴿ Indeed, We sent it down on the Night of Decree * And how do you know what the Night of Decree is? * The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months * The angels and the Spirit descend Therein, by the permission of their Lord, for every matter. * It is peace until the coming of dawn.} [القدر: 1 – 5].
The Qur’an is guidance, mercy, goodness, blessing, glory, and exaltation for those who memorize it, regularly recite it, read it with understanding, and do what it contains of God’s commands and prohibitions.
This is my story; The story of Hira Cave, in the Mountain of Light.
The happiest cave in the world, in the happiest mountain, in the most generous country, is Mecca.
