PROPHETHOOD

When Rasulullah (peace and blessing be upon him) was forty years old, an angel appeared in the cave of Hira and commanded him three times to 'Read'. Rasulullah (peace and blessing be upon him) replied that he could not. The angel then recited the following verses as the first revelations of the Quran then disappeared:

'Read, in the name of Allah who created (everything). He created man from a clot of blood. Read, your Lord is Great who taught you but virtue of the pen that which you did not know'.

This Divine incident so affected Rasulullah (peace and blessing be upon him) that he hurried home and he related the incident to Hazrat Khadeejah (R.A.)
When Rasulullah (peace and blessing be upon him) said he was afraid for his life, Hazrat Khadeejah (R.A.) comforted him and said 'you should feel happy. Allah will never let you down because you have been loving, helpful, truthful, and you are 'Fair'.

After this granting of apostleship, Rasulullah (peace and blessing be upon him) began to preach Islam. The first man to become a Muslim was his closest friend Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) and first women was his beloved wife Hazrat Khadeejah (R.A.)
Others who became Muslims willingly were Hazrat Ali-ibn-Abu Taalib (R.A.), the young cousin of Rasulullah (peace and blessing be upon him), and Hazrat Zaid-bin-Harith (R.A.) the freed slave of Rasulullah. (peace and blessing be upon him)
