"The first thing by which started the revelation to the Messenger of Allah, the premonitory dream. He saw in a dream that came true events exactly as they had seen them. "

Then he went to the cave of Hira 'to meditate from time to time. Then one day he came to our master Jibril when he was in the cave and the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu the Lahou 3alayhi wa sallam had then reached the age of forty. He then said:

إقرأ "

(Iqra ')

which means: "Recite." The Herald says:

"ما أنا بقارئ? "

(Ma ana biqari ')

which means: "What I recite [That is to say I have not learned anything that is recited]? "And Jibril said:

"إقرأ"

(Iqra ')

meaning. "Recite" [This is not to make a recitation of his part in an effective manner from what he would have learned before. This is not the recitation of a thing he would have learned before. But it is in the sense begin to acquire a recitation that will transmit, ie that Jibril will recite]. The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu the Lahou 3alayhi wa sallam said:

"ما أنا بقارئ? "

(Ma ana biqari ')

which means: "What I recite? "And 3alayhi s-salam Jibril said a third time:

إقرأ

(Iqra ')

which means: "Recite." And the Prophet sallallaahu the Lahou 3alayhi wa sallam said:

"ما أنا بقارئ? "

(Ma ana biqari ')

which means: "What I recite? "Then Jibril ^ alayhi s-salam said:

{اقرأ باسم ربك الذي خلق خلق الإنسان من علق اقرأ و ربك الأكرم الذي علم بالقلم علم الإنسان ما لم يعلم}

(Iqra 'l-bismi rabbika ladhi khalaq; khalaqa l-min'insana 3alaq;' Iqra wa l-Rabbouka'akram; al-ladhi 3allama the bi-qalam; 3allama the-lam'insana my ya3lam)

which means: "Recite in the name of your Lord Who created. He created man from a blood clot. Recite! Your Lord provides many benefits, Who taught by the reed pen, taught man what he knew not. "
[Surat Al-3Alaq / 1-5]

The Messenger returned to Khadijah and said:

"زملوني زملوني"

(Zammilouni, zammilouni)

which means: "Cover me, cover me."

Then they covered him and told him the event.

After that, the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu the Lahou 3alayhi wa sallam began to call people to worship Allah only and prohibiting idol worship.

He himself had never loved a statue of his life, but he grew up on the belief in Allah Ta3ala since childhood like all prophets.

However, he did not fully know the details of the Laws before receiving revelation.
