The First Revelation: How the Quran Began | Islamic Story

How did the Quran begin? The story of the first revelation in the Cave of Hira — a night that changed history. In this video, we tell the story of the first revelation of the Quran: the retreats of Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the Cave of Hira outside Makkah, the coming of the angel Jibril (Gabriel), the command "Read," and the first revealed verses — Surah Al-Alaq (96:1-5). We follow his return to his wife Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), her reassurance, and the counsel of Waraqah ibn Nawfal, then the pause in revelation and the passage most commonly cited as coming next, Surah Al-Muddaththir (74:1-5): "Arise and warn." Based on the narration of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) in Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Revelation, Hadith 3 (also in Sahih Muslim).
