Muhammed (PBUH) - Prophethood - The Cave- Part 1
Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim
Prophethood of Muhammed(PBUH)
It was here, one night during the month of Holy Ramadhan at the age of
40, that the Almighty called Muhammed(PBUH) to his service. This night
known as Laylatul- Qadr, 'The night of power', The spirit of truth was
to descend with God's decree and light of humanity: The Quran. The new
chapter for the world was about to unfold.
The Cave- Part 1
The white Moon was shining brightly when suddenly he perceived a
presence. Out of the stillness of the night, a voice was heard. 'Read',
Muhammed(PBUH) was shaken 'I can't Read', he replied. The Earth seemed
to tremble as the voice repeated the command pressing him on ' Read' ' I
can't Read'. He felt himself frozen with fear, unable to move. 'Read'
The awesome voice commanded again. ' What shall I Read', Then suddenly
he was released : at that moment, all time and space were still. Peace-
as mankind stood at the threshold of a new dawn.
'Read'- In the name of your Lord who has created (All that exists). Created Man from a clot ( a piece of thick coagulated blood).
'Read', and your Lord is the most generous. Who taught by the pen. Taught Man that which he knew not.
These are the first 5 jeweled verse of the glorious Quran. The voice was
that of Angel Jibreel ( Gabriel), The spirit of faith and truth, who
had been sent to the last of God's prophets. The mission has just begun
for Muhammed (PBUH) the messenger of Allah(SWT)- A mercy to the worlds.
To be continued in the next Blog.
Jazakallah
