The life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Revelation began for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with true dreams in sleep. … Then the Truth came to him while he was in the cave of Hira: the angel came and said: "Read!" He replied: "I am not one who reads." … Khadija said to him: "No, by Allah, Allah will never disgrace you: you keep the ties of kinship, you carry the burden of the weak, you provide for the one who has nothing, you honour the guest and you help against the hardships that befall people in the right."
