السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Dear brothers, sisters, elders, and respected viewers. Welcome once again to our channel where we explore the remarkable and meaningful events of Islamic history. In this special series, we bring to you hidden, surprising, and thought-provoking questions that help us understand Islam from a deeper and more meaningful perspective. In today’s episode, we will explore a very important and powerful question. When was the first revelation revealed? This question takes us back to one of the most significant and life-changing moments in human history, the beginning of divine revelation to the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. It was a moment that not only changed his life but also transformed the course of the entire world.

The Angel repeated the command again, and this moment continued until the first verses of the Quran were revealed. These first words were a command to read in the name of Allah who created human beings. This marked the beginning of revelation and the start of the Prophet’s mission. This moment is known as the beginning of Wahi, or divine revelation. It was not just a personal experience but the start of a message that would guide humanity forever. After this powerful event, the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him returned home deeply moved and concerned. He went to his wife Khadijah, who comforted him and reassured him with words of support and belief. She recognized his truthfulness and assured him that Allah would never abandon him. Khadijah then took
