In this fifth episode of Pearls from the Seerah, we enter one of the greatest moments in human history — the beginning of revelation to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Before the revelation came, Allah protected and prepared His Messenger ﷺ. He was preserved from shirk, idols, alcohol, immorality, and the corrupted practices of society. As he approached the age of 40, he began seeing true visions, loving solitude, and spending time in the Cave of Hira reflecting upon the creation of Allah. Then came the life-changing moment: Angel Jibril عليه السلام came to him with the first revelation — “Read in the name of your Lord who created.” This episode covers the first revelation, the powerful support of Khadijah رضي الله عنها, the meeting with Waraqah ibn Nawfal, the pause in revelation, the second revelation, and the different forms of wahi.
