Overview

The journey to prophethood for Muhammad began long before the first revelation with a series of profound dreams and spiritual moments, creating a sacred groundwork for the mission ahead. These initial signs were both awe-inspiring and a testament to the divine preparation of Muhammad for his monumental task. His encounter with Angel Jibreel at the age of 40 was the pivotal moment that transformed his personal reflections into a global mission.

The intimate moment between Prophet Muhammad and Angel Jibreel in the cave of Hira marks one of the most sacred origins of Islam. Khadijah, the Prophet's wife, played a crucial role during this transformative period, becoming the first person to embrace the call to Islam. Her acceptance is not just a testament to her faith but also her substantial influence in the growth and spread of the early Islamic community.

As the Prophet received revelations, including passages directly from Allah, the intricacies of delivering God's message were both challenging and spiritually invigorating. Establishing early Islamic practices in secret, places like Dar al-Arqam became beacons of hope and steadfastness for new converts. Such spaces provided the Muslim community a haven to cultivate their faith discreetly during times of uncertainty and hostility from those opposed to Islam's new teachings.

Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Early Life The chapter provides an overview of the early life and significant events in the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It begins with the mention of the first revelation he received in the cave of Hira. At the age of 25, he married Khadijah (RA) and was involved in managing her business affairs for a decade until he turned 35. After that age, he ceased direct involvement in trade, delegating those responsibilities to another person.
• 00:30 - 05:00: Time in Makkah and Beginning of Reflection Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) preferred staying in Makkah and stopped traveling for business. At age 36, he began spending time outside the city, particularly visiting the cave Hira on Mount Jabal al-nur, near Makkah, for reflection.
• 05:00 - 09:30: Signs of Prophethood and Dreams This chapter explores the routine of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during his visits to a cave near Mecca. He would spend up to ten days at a time in isolation, brought provisions by his wife Khadijah. These visits were surrounded by spiritual rituals, such as participating in tawah, or the circling of the holy Kaaba, both before departing and upon returning from the cave. The chapter suggests that these periods of solitude and spiritual devotion were significant during this phase of his prophetic journey.
• 09:30 - 15:00: First Revelation in Cave Hira Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) often retreated to Cave Hira. It was during one of these retreats that the early signs of his prophethood began to manifest. Although Muhammad was always a prophet by divine determination, he had not yet been bestowed with the mission to convey the revelations of Allah. The period described takes place up until the age of 37, before the formal commencement of his prophetic mission.
• 15:00 - 21:00: Understanding Wahi (Revelation) In the period leading up to the initial revelations, Prophet Muhammad engaged in a profound phase of reflection and worship known as 'time of tahan'. This solitary worship in the cave of Hira was marked by a series of extraordinary dreams — true dreams that manifested just as he envisioned them. These experiences heralded the early stages of divine revelation, characterized by an awakening of inner guidance and auditory experiences involving angelic voices. Approaching the age of 40, these spiritual phenomena intensified, with the more frequent appearance of angels.
• 21:00 - 30:30: Impact of Revelation and First Converts to Islam The chapter discusses the early period of Prophet Muhammad's life when he began receiving divine inspiration, known as Ilam. During this time, he felt the presence of angels, although they did not fully reveal themselves to him. His dreams became meaningful and true, akin to the prophetic dreams experienced by Prophet Ibrahim. Every dream held truth and was considered a form of revelation, as the dreams of prophets are regarded as true. This period lasted for three years.
• 30:30 - 41:00: Early Challenges and Spread of Islam The chapter titled 'Early Challenges and Spread of Islam' discusses significant changes and events that occurred in the life of Prophet Muhammad. As he approached his 40th year, unusual phenomena such as rocks and trees greeting him were observed. These events symbolized the beginning of his new spiritual journey as he received the declaration of prophethood shortly after his 40th birthday. The chapter highlights the reverence and respect shown to him by all of nature, signaling the start of his mission.
• 41:00 - 43:00: Conclusion and Call to Action This chapter discusses the period leading up to Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) receipt of prophethood. It describes how he began experiencing significant dreams a month or two before receiving the message, and how he would meditate and worship in the Cave of Hira. During one of these visits, he encountered a man who greeted him as the messenger of Allah, marking a pivotal moment in his life.

Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) First Meeting with Angel Jibreel (AS) Explained | Islamic Story English Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful. In today's video, we'll talk about the very first revelation that came to our beloved prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam in the cave of Ha. When Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was 25 years old, he married Khadijah Radahu Anha. From then until the age of 35, he managed all of her business matters. But after that, he stopped personally taking part in trade. Instead, he appointed someone to handle the business on his
• 00:30 - 01:00 behalf, and he no longer traveled for business himself. He preferred to stay in Makkah. At the age of 36, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam started spending more time outside the city. There's a mountain between Makkah and Mina called Jabal al-nur, also known as Mount Faron. At the top of this mountain is a small cave called Garihira, the cave of Hia. Geographically, Jabal al-nur is now part of the city of Makkah. But back then, it
• 01:00 - 01:30 was a journey of about 3 days from the holy cabba. Whenever the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam went to the cave, he would stay there for a week or even 10 days. During this time, Khadijah Ana would lovingly prepare food and send it to him. He would take dates and water with him. And before going to the cave, he would first visit the Cabba. After returning from the cave, he would again perform tawah of the cabba before going home. After staying home
• 01:30 - 02:00 for a few days, he would go back to the cave again. During this period, signs of prophethood began to appear. Scholars say that the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was always a prophet. As he himself once said, "I was already a prophet when Adam was still between water and clay." But he hadn't yet been given the mission to deliver Allah's message to the people. From his birth to the age of 37, there was no revelation. But from the age of 37, a new phase began, which scholars refer to as the
• 02:00 - 02:30 time of tahan, a period of deep reflection and worship. During this time, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam would worship alone in the cave of Hira. He also began seeing dreams, not ordinary dreams, but true dreams that would come to life just as he saw them. These were part of the early stages of revelation. He began receiving inner guidance and hearing voices of angels. As he neared the age of 40, these spiritual experiences increased. Angels began appearing around
• 02:30 - 03:00 him more often, though they didn't show themselves fully yet. Still, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam could feel their presence. He received inspiration called Ilam during this time and his night dreams became more meaningful just like the true dreams of prophet Ibrahimisam. Every dream he saw was part of the truth. A piece of revelation because the dreams of prophets are always true. Three years passed in this
• 03:00 - 03:30 way. Then when the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam completed his 39th year and entered his 40th, a major change began in his life. This change was unlike anything before. Whenever he went near a rock, the rock would greet him with salam. When he passed by a tree, it too would greet him. Even animals would show him respect and honor. When the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam turned 40 years old, just 4 months later, he received the declaration of prophethood. The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
• 03:30 - 04:00 wasallam was born in the month of Rabal and he received the message of prophethood on the 27th of Rajab. A month or two before this, he started seeing different kinds of dreams. Soon after, he began going to the cave of Hia for reflection and worship. One day, while he was in the cave, he saw a man standing there. The man said to him, "Assalamu alaykum, oh messenger of Allah sallallah.aii wasallam." The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam asked, "Who are you?" The man replied,
• 04:00 - 04:30 "I am Gabriel." The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam asked this because Gabrielam had come in the form of a human. This was the first time Gibbrelam appeared to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and greeted him. All of these events such as hearing voices, seeing dreams, changes in the behavior of animals, rocks and trees, and the presence of the angel Gabriel were signs that the time for prophethood was very near. Many people
• 04:30 - 05:00 wonder if the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam received prophethood at the age of 40 then what happened in those first 40 years. Did he have any connection with Allah before he officially became a prophet? After receiving prophethood, angel Gabrielisam would come with revelations. But what about before that? In Arabic, the word wahi means to give a message or sign to someone in a special way. But in Islamic terms, wahi means the message or guidance sent by Allah to his prophets.
• 05:00 - 05:30 In the Quran, the word wahi is used in different ways. For example, wahi was sent to the sky and the earth. On the day of judgment, the earth will speak what was revealed to it through wahi. Wahi was sent to the angels. Even bees received wahi from Allah about how to build their hives. The mother of prophet Musa, peace be upon him, received wahi as well. And yes, even Satan gives wahi evil whispers to his followers. So the word wahi in the Quran is used for many
• 05:30 - 06:00 kinds of messages, not just to humans, but also to animals, angels, the heavens, and the earth. But today we're talking about that special wahi which came from Allah to his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. This type of wahi usually comes in five ways. The Quran mentions three of these methods, but I'll tell you all five. The first method when something is placed in the heart of a prophet this is called ilam inspiration. For ordinary people
• 06:00 - 06:30 this is just inspiration but for prophets it's counted as wahi. There's a hadith where the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said my lord placed something into my heart. This kind of wahi does not require the presence of angel jabrel. The second method wahi comes through dreams. Just like prophet Ibrahimisam saw in a dream that he had to sacrifice his son, prophet Ismael. Salam during the conquest of Makkah, the prophet Muhammad
• 06:30 - 07:00 sallallahu alaihi wasallam saw an important dream. In that dream, he was wearing white clothes and performing tawah around the cabba. The next day, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that revelation had come to him and he had to go to Makkah. This event is mentioned in the holy Quran in surah al fata. Allah the Almighty says, "Oh messenger of Allah, I have made your dream come true." The third way of revelation is through angels bringing the message. Angels like Gabriel, Miky
• 07:00 - 07:30 and his Rafil used to bring the revelation to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. However, most of the time it was angel Gabriel who came with the revelation. This angelic communication started when the prophet was around 40 years old. There is a hadith narrated from Omanib Mazon who was a very respected and important companion. He accepted Islam in Makkah very early after the prophet's mission began. Before accepting Islam, one day Oman was going towards the Cabba. On the
• 07:30 - 08:00 way, he saw the door of the prophet's house open and the prophet Muhammad sallallah.aii wasallam was sitting alone in his room. Otman thought to spend some time and talk with the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So he sat down and started a conversation. This was the time when the prophet had received revelation but had not yet begun to openly preach Islam. Suddenly the prophet became silent and stared quietly. He kept nodding his head repeatedly just like someone who nods while speaking. Then he looked to his
• 08:00 - 08:30 left side and nodded there as well. After a while, Uman asked the prophet why he suddenly stopped talking and if he was seeing someone. The prophet replied that angel Gabriel had just come to him and Allah had revealed a verse to him. Then the prophet recited a verse from the holy Quran. Hearing all this, Uman left the place deeply moved. The fourth method of revelation was that the angels came in human form rather than their original angelic form. Often angel
• 08:30 - 09:00 Gabriel appeared in human shape. For example, Hazarat Ali Anu narrated a hadith where he said that one day he visited the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and saw him lying down with his head resting on the chest of the famous companion. The prophet's eyes were closed and Ali understood that revelation was being sent down. So the prophet was resting. When Ali approached, Deiak greeted him and said, "Peace be upon you, O brother of the messenger of Allah, Muhammad sallallah.aii wasallam. May Allah's
• 09:00 - 09:30 peace be upon you. Ali replied to his greeting. Then Deyah said he had to leave and stood up. Ali sat down and held the prophet's blessed head in his lap. After a while, the prophet opened his eyes and asked Ali, "Who were you talking to?" Ali answered, "Oh messenger of Allah, I was talking with your beloved companion Dyakuli on whose chest you were resting. When I arrived, he had already left." The prophet Muhammad sallallah.aii alaihi wasallam smiled and
• 09:30 - 10:00 said that was not dah kali that was actually angel jabrelam he came to me in the form of dah to deliver a message from Allah since you arrived he has departed this was the fourth way in which revelation was sent in this method angel Gabriel would come in the form of a human being because he looked like a person no one could tell that he was actually Gabriel bringing revelation the fifth and final method of revelation was the most important in In this method, Allah himself spoke directly to his
• 10:00 - 10:30 prophet. No angel was needed. Most people think the Quran and all revelations were only sent through Gibblisam. But that's not completely true. In the fifth method, Allah directly spoke to his beloved messenger Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam without using an angel. One such moment was during the night of ascension mirage. When the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam reached Sidatul Mutah even Gibblisam stayed behind. It was there that Allah directly
• 10:30 - 11:00 spoke to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Something similar happened with prophet Musa Alisam as well when Allah spoke to him directly at Mount T. There are also several reports that mention some verses of the Quran were revealed directly by Allah without the need for Gibbrelisam. Once a man asked Imm Jafar Sadi, "Oh descendant of the messenger of Allah, what was the state of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam when Jabril used to visit him?" The man continued, "We often hear that when
• 11:00 - 11:30 revelation came, the prophet's body would start to shake, his face would turn pale, and when the revelation ended, he would be sweating." Imam Jafar replied, "You are mistaken. These things never happened because of Jabriel." Jabril was just a servant to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Whenever he came, he did so with the utmost respect and humility. He never even spoke unless the prophet allowed him. The man asked again, "But we Muslims have heard that revelation was
• 11:30 - 12:00 very heavy and whenever Jirel brought it, the prophet would shake." Imam Jafar explained that never happened with Jabriel. That only happened when the revelation came directly from Allah. Let me give you an example. Imam Ali Anu said, "Once I was traveling with the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He was riding a mule. Suddenly the mule stopped. I noticed the prophet's body began shaking. He was sweating heavily and the mule became so weak that it seemed like it couldn't
• 12:00 - 12:30 even stand anymore." After some time passed, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam looked at me. I asked him, "Oh messenger of Allah, what just happened to you?" He replied, "Some verses from surah al- Maida were just revealed to me directly from Allah." He continued, "When revelation comes directly from Allah, it is extremely heavy. Even the animal I'm writing becomes weak under its weight, I also feel physically weak from it. But when revelation came through other methods
• 12:30 - 13:00 like through Gibbrelam, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam did not feel this level of heaviness or weakness. This was a special process where there was no need for angel Gabriel alisam. Instead, almighty Allah himself would speak directly to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. These are the five ways in which revelation wahi was sent. Inspiration, ilam, dreams, angels coming in human form, angels coming in their true form,
• 13:00 - 13:30 direct revelation from Allah. Now let's get back to the main story. The first time revelation was sent to prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was on the 27th of Rajab. At that time the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam had been staying in the cave of Ha for about 7 to 8 days. The angels were already present near him but they didn't yet have permission to appear in front of him. Finally on that day Allah gave the angels permission to appear before the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. From the morning the
• 13:30 - 14:00 angels started descending on Mount Noah. They were not in human form but in their original angelic forms. The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam could feel their presence but could not see them. Once all the permitted angels arrived, angel Gabrielisam entered the cave with 70,000 angels and stood in front of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Jabilis Salam brought a throne made from red rubies. Rubies from Janna used to build the homes and furniture in paradise. The angels placed the throne
• 14:00 - 14:30 inside the cave. Then Jabril Ali Salam respectfully asked the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam to sit on the throne. The prophet sat down with honor. He asked, "Who are you?" Jabril replied, "I am Jabril." Then Jabril Alisam recited the first five verses of Surah Alak and said, "Read." The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied, "I do not know how to read." Gibil Alisam then held him tightly and said again, "Read." The Prophet Muhammad
• 14:30 - 15:00 sallallahu alaihi wasallam again replied, "I do not know how to read." Gibrill hugged him tightly once more and repeated, "Read." The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam again said, "I do not know how to read." Then Jabril embraced him tightly a third time and said, "Read in the name of your Lord who created you." This was the very first time the revelation was sent down to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. On that day, the first five verses of surah alak were revealed. After this, the
• 15:00 - 15:30 prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam slowly came down from the cave and returned home. When he arrived, he lay down on the bed. Seeing him in such a shocked and overwhelmed state, his wife Khadijah came close and asked what happened. The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, "Cover me with a blanket." Khadijah quickly brought a blanket and wrapped him. At that exact moment, another revelation came. Seven verses from surah al-
• 15:30 - 16:00 Muddath. After this revelation, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam stood up, turned toward the Cabba, and with his fingers in his ears, loudly said twice, Allah Akbar, Allahu Akbar. These powerful words are still beloved and respected in Islamic tradition. At that moment an angel gave the very first adan called a prayer. Every creation except humans and jin could hear this adhan. It was given in honor of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Hazat Ali who said I
• 16:00 - 16:30 heard the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam say that when I was saying Allah abbar I heard a terrifying scream. Hazat Ali asked oh messenger of Allah whose scream was that? The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that this was the scream of shaitan because he had fallen into despair. In one narration it is mentioned that shaitan screamed four times in despair. The first time was when he refused to bow down to Adamisam. The second time
• 16:30 - 17:00 was when Allah almighty expelled him from Janna paradise in the heavens. The third time was when the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam received prophethood. And the fourth time was when the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said Allah Akbar. At these four moments Shayan was filled with hopelessness. The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam also said oh Ali Shayan is still in despair because people are accepting Islam in large numbers. On one such day two separate
• 17:00 - 17:30 revelations wahi came down upon the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The first was a part of surah alak and the second was some verses from surah al- mudir. Then the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam went to khadahha and said, "Oh khadijah, Allah has granted me prophethood. If you wish to accept Islam, then you must recite the kalea." Khadijah replied, "I believe in your prophethood, but I don't know how to recite the kalea." So the prophet
• 17:30 - 18:00 Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam taught her the khala and she repeated it. She then said, "Oh messenger of Allah, I already knew in my heart that you would become a prophet one day. I accepted you as a messenger a long time ago in my heart, but today I am announcing it openly." Then she recited the kalea once again. At that time Alihu was with the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He also accepted Islam. After him, the third
• 18:00 - 18:30 person to accept Islam was Zed bin Harita who was the servant of Khadijah Anha. Later when Abu Bakr Anu heard the news of the prophet's prophethood, he went straight to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and accepted Islam. In this way, among women, the first to accept Islam was Khadijah. Among the youth, it was Ali Anu. And among the elders it was Abu
• 18:30 - 19:00 Bakr. After accepting Islam, Khadijah went to her cousin bin. War was the one who had arranged the marriage between her and the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Khadijah asked him who is Gabriel. Moraka was surprised and asked how do you know that name in Makkah where everyone worships idols? How do you know about Gabriel? Khadijah replied, "Jabir came to my husband Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam." Hearing this, Waraka said, "By the one in whose hand is my soul.
• 19:00 - 19:30 This is the same angel who came to Musa and Issa. Everything Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said is already written in the Torah in the Bible." Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the true prophet. You must believe in him immediately. Baraka's words brought great peace to Khadijah's heart. She left his home and began walking toward her own house. On the way she met a famous monk of Macam. He was a Christian who had been living in Macab for many years and was known for his deep
• 19:30 - 20:00 knowledge. Hazra Khadahu Anha asked the monk, "Can you tell me about angel Gabriel Alisam?" The monk looked a bit shocked by this question. He asked, "How do you know this name in a city full of idol worshippers?" Hazarat Khadijah replied, "My husband Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam told me that Girel Alisam came to him in the cave of Ha. He even described some signs." The monk said, "The signs you mentioned truly match those of Gabriel Alisam. But
• 20:00 - 20:30 sometimes Satan tricks people by pretending to be an angel. Let me write down some verses from the Almighty Allah on a piece of paper." He handed her the paper and said, "Take this to your husband and place it on his body. If it's Satan who approached him, he won't be able to handle it. But if it was truly Gabrielisam, he will remain calm." The monk continued, "For the last three nights, I've been seeing in my dreams that Gabriel Alahisam is descending upon Makkah." "I wasn't sure where he would
• 20:30 - 21:00 appear, but today I will find out. If it was Satan, your husband will react strongly. If it was truly Jabrielisam, he'll stay calm. Hazat Khadijah Ana returned to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam while he was reciting verses from Surah Kalam. She brought the piece of paper given by the monk and gently touched it to the prophet's body, but she saw no unusual reaction. He remained peaceful exactly as he always was. She then went back to the monk and
• 21:00 - 21:30 told him everything that had happened. The monk said, "Please take me to your husband." When they arrived, the monk carefully looked at the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam from head to toe. Then he said, "I want to see the seal of prophethood." With the prophet's permission, he gently moved his cloak and saw the seal of prophethood on his back. He stared at it in awe and suddenly fainted. After he regained consciousness, the monk said, "You are truly the prophet of Allah. Gibbrelisam
• 21:30 - 22:00 has really visited you." Then he asked, "Has Allah commanded you to fight in jihad yet?" Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied, "No, I haven't received such a command yet." The monk said, "Very soon you will receive that order. But before that, your own people will drive you out of Makkah, and you will have to fight against them. If I am still alive, then I will surely support you." After this, the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said goodbye to the monk and returned home. Later the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
• 22:00 - 22:30 wasallam began his mission of spreading Islam. For the first three years he did not preach publicly. He only invited those he deeply trusted. Those who accepted Islam were told to share the message quietly with their friends and family. And when they were ready to recite the calima, they were told to bring them to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. A year later, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam climbed a mountain and called out to the people of Makkah, "Oh people of Makkah, if I tell you that there is an army behind this mountain
• 22:30 - 23:00 ready to attack, would you believe me?" The people of Makkah replied, "Of course we would. You are Alamin, the most trustworthy one." After that, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, "There is no God but Allah. He is the only Lord of this entire universe." But at that time the people of Arabia rejected his message. For 3 years the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam secretly preached Islam. Sometimes he would go to people's homes, sometimes to the
• 23:00 - 23:30 marketplace and sometimes even near the cabba to invite people towards Islam. Those who accepted Islam began meeting each other. Slowly a small group started to form. People from different tribes began to join Islam. These new Muslims would gather quietly and during that time the command for prayer was also given. So they began performing salah prayer. Eventually because of their prayers the non-believers found out that a new religion had arrived. Some Muslims would go to caves in the mountains to
• 23:30 - 24:00 pray because the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam had instructed them to keep their faith and worship a secret. One day a man from the Banu Tamim tribe saw the Muslims praying and was surprised. He asked, "What is this?" Soon people began asking questions. Who started all this? Although every tribe had some men and women whose behavior had recently changed, most of the Arabs didn't pay much attention. But that same man from Banu Tamim saw the Muslims praying again after a few days. This time he began to
• 24:00 - 24:30 mock them and asked, "What kind of joke is this?" He started saying silly things. One of the Muslims in anger picked up a bone and hit the man on the head. The man got injured after this incident. The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, "From now on, do not gather or pray in random places. I am choosing a house where you can meet and pray together in secret." This house was Darl Aram owned by Aram who had accepted Islam at that time. The
• 24:30 - 25:00 prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam chose this house as the center for Islamic activities. It was very close to the Cabba and located between the hills of Safa and Marwa. Muslims started gathering there in secret. The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, "From now on, you will meet here and if anyone has questions about Islam, they can come here and ask."
