Q       Give an account of how the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet (sw).
[10-J-14-2058/11]
                                        
Before the first revelation, Mohammad (sw) was a man of good nature. He always helped the poor and needy. He had never worshipped idols and always hated the common bad habits among Arabs When he was about forty years of age, he started meditating in the Cave of Hira because he used to think about the social evils common in Arabian society. He was in search of truth.

He started going to a cave three miles away from Makkah known as the cave of Hira. It is also known as the “The mount of Noor”. He used to go to Hira for a few days along with some food stuff. When the food was over, he would come back to Makkah and bring more food for him. A strange thing happened with him that his dreams started coming true.
One evening of the month of Ramadan in the year 610, he found a being standing in front of him.
            “We have revealed this (Quran) in the Night of Power”. (Al Qadr-1)

Later he came to know it was Jibreel (as), the leader of all angels. Jibreel (as) asked him to read. It is possible that Jibreel (as) showed him some writing and Mohammad (saw) was not literate. He said “I do not know how to read”. Jibreel (as) squeezed him tightly. The Prophet says that he squeezed the Prophet so hard that he felt pain in his chest. This happened three times. Then he started reading. These were the first five Ayaat of Sura Al Alaq.

Read! In the name of your Lord who created,
Created man out of a clot of congealed blood:
Proclaim! And your Lord is most bountiful,
He who taught by the pen
Taught man what he did not know.                                  

He came back home frightened and shivering. He asked his wife Khadija (ra) to cover him with something warm. He told the story to her and she pacified him. Mohammad (saw) said that he was afraid someone would kill him. Khadija (ra) said:
“Never, by Allah! Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relation
  with your kith and kin, help the poor, serve your guests and assist those
  who are in problems”.


Khadija (ra) took Mohammad (saw) to her cousin Warqa Ibn Nawfal who was a Christian scholor and a very old man. Khadija (ra) said: “Warqa, talk to your nepew, what has happened with him?” Warqa heard the story and said: “It was the same angel who used to communicate between Allah and the other prophets. It means that you are also a prophet of Allah. Your people will expel you from this city (Makkah). If I remain alive until that time, I will be with you”. By this statement Warqa indicated three important things. One that Mohammad (sw) was the Prophet of Allah, two, that the one who came to him was angel Jibail (as), three that he will be expelled from Makkah and migrate to some other place. Warqa did not live long after this event.

    though this question addressed the main events surrounding the first revelation, for a 10-mark, it is not sufficient.

The Revelation of Quran to the Prophet (saw) between 610-632

The Revelation of Quran to the Prophet (saw) between 610-632 Q         Write an account of the ways in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet (saw) between the years 610 and 632.                                           [10-N-09] In 610, the holy prophet (saw) was forty years old when the first revelation of Sura Al Alaq was brought to him by Jibreel (as) in the cave of Hira. Soon, he started receiving more revelations. For the first three years he preached those who were close to him. Khadija (ra), ten blessed companions and some other companions became Muslim during this time. After three years, he was commanded to preach openly. The pagans of Makkah opposed him. This continued for ten years and in 622 he migrated to Madina. The Suras revealed in Makkah are called Makki Suras. These Suras are short. They emphasize on believing in one Allah, not worshipping false gods. They emphasize in believing in the Hereafter and following the way of God in this world. The lang

Early life of Prophet (sw) until first revelation

Life in Makkah-570-622 AD - his early life Q         Write about the life of the Prophet (saw) up until the first Revelation. [10-J-10] Q         Give an account of the Prophet’s life up to the time the revelations began. [10-Nov 14-2058/11] Mohammad (saw) was born in 571 AD in Makkah in the family of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Quresh. This year was also known as the year of elephants because in this year the king of Yemen, Abraha, attacked Makkah with the intention to destroy the holy Kaaba along with an army of elephants. He failed because Allah sent small birds with stones in their feet and beaks which destroyed the army. It was a very historic event in the history of Arabs. Quran reminds this event in Sura Al Feel (elephants). His father’s name was Abdullah and his mother was Amina. His grand-father was Abdul Muttalib who was a highly respected person of makkah. He had ten sons. Abdullah was the youngest son and a very handsome man. He married to Amina who was
