At forty, while meditating in Cave Hira, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received the first revelation from Angel Jibreel, commanding him to "Read."

This marked the descent of the Holy Quran and the call to monotheism (Tawheed).

While his beloved wife Khadijah (ra) supported him, the Meccan elite grew hostile, fearing his message threatened their trade and pagan idols.

With the death of his protectors, Khadijah and Abu Talib, the persecution became severe, testing the Prophet’s ﷺ resolve to uphold the truth.
