The story of the Prophet Muhammad Receive First Revelation
If we talk about the story of the Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation, we can not help but talk about the Prophet's life before he became an apostle. Muhammad, who was born with a full name Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim is someone who comes from Mecca and unify Arabia under a named Islamic religious views. Those non-Muslims regard Muhammad as the founder of Islam, while Muslims themselves consider Muhammad had restored original monotheistic belief of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets.Early Years Muhammad Receive First RevelationEvents experienced in the Prophet Muhammad first received the revelation had never occurred to Muhammad, who was born in 570 in Mecca. Her father, who died six months before his birth caused Muhammad was born an orphan and was eventually sent to live with Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb and her husband Muhammad stepped up to the age of 2 years. When it was 6 years old, Muhammad lost his mother, and was orphaned, which finally Muhammad stayed with his uncle who came from Bani Hashim, Abdul Muttalib. Two years after living with his grandfather, his grandfather died and made him treated by Abu Talib who succeeded Bani Hashim.As a teenager, Muhammad often accompanied his uncle on the way to Syria in order to trade and gain experience in the commercial trade, the only gate that is open to Muhammad's career as an orphan. History says that when Muhammad was about 9 to 12 years old, he met a Christian priest named Bahira who has predicted the future prophet Muhammad as a messenger of God.Unfortunately, not much is known about the youth of Muhammad after adolescence. To be sure, at the time of the Prophet Muhammad has not received the first revelation. The information contained on Muhammad after a teenager was also difficult to separate between history and legend. What is known for sure is the merchant and eventually he became involved in trade between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Because the character is honest, Muhammad then received the nickname al-Amin defined as "trustworthy". Muhammad received another nickname as a youth was al-Sadiq, meaning "true" and always sought as an intermediary who never aligned. Reputation revolving around Muhammad at that time attract a 40-year old widow named Khadija who then proposed to Muhammad. The proposal is accepted and their marriage was a happy marriage.Several years passed, and according to a set of narrative history get from a historian named Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad engaged in a famous story, about the placement of a black stone on one part of the wall of the Kaaba in the year 605. The black stone is a sacred object this had been removed to facilitate the renovation of the Kaaba. The leader of Mecca at that time could not decide which one clan may have the honor of laying the black stone back into place, where they finally approved the proposal to talk to anybody who first passed through the temple gate and that person is Muhammad aged 35 years, five years before coronation as the Apostle. Muhammad then asked for a sheet of fabric, put a black stone at its center, and ask the leaders of the clan for holding together the edges of the fabric before and bring it to the right place so that Muhammad could lay the stone. This causes the entire clan chief was getting the same honor.Early History of Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation begins when Muhammad began to enter the age of 40 years where he would spend much of his time alone in prayer and speculate about aspects of creation. He began concerned about social inequality, injustice, discrimination, war between tribes, and abuse of power. Moral degeneration of people around him and his quest to find the true religion become the motor for Muhammad began to alienate themselves to the Cave of Hira, three miles away from Mecca to contemplate and reflect themselves. At the time of this contemplation was believed the angel Gabriel appeared before Muhammad at around 610 and said "read", but in fact Muhammad said that he did not know how to read. That's why Gabriel hugged him twice and thereafter, sent Muhammad to read verses that later became the first revelation Muhammad. A piece of surah Al-Alaq verses 1-5 that have the following meanings:"Read it! With the name of your Lord who created. Make a man from a clot. Read it! And your Lord is most noble. Teach with the Pen. Things that are not known to man. "Confused about the experience he had just experienced, Muhammad returned home where he was later pacified by his wife Khadija who then brings it to her cousin Waraqa ibn Nawfal. Waraqah no stranger to skriptur Christians and Jews, which then Waraqah bertestifikasi about the prophethood of Muhammad. Waraqah then states that are seen by Muhammad is Namus sent by God to Moses. Waraqah also predicted that Muhammad would be evicted from where he lives now, and swore if he has a long life, he would support Muhammad mightily.The story of the Prophet Muhammad received his first revelation had pause a moment before Muhammad returned to meet with the angel Gabriel when Muhammad heard a voice from the sky and watched the same angel sitting between heaven and earth. After this first revelation, Muhammad continued to receive revelations that eventually coalesced into Al-Qur'an we know today.

Altogether God would flout thee for I have strengthen kinship, truthful in words, you are willing to bear the burdens of others and respect for guests and help those in trouble on the road correct."After he saw Muhammad sleeping peacefully, Khadijah out later he went to see his cousin called Waraqa bin Naufal. He told me what you've seen and heard Muhammad and also tell what was said Muhammad. Waraqa said: "Most holy, He is most holy. By Him who holds Waraqah life. Khadijah believe me, he has received as he had received of Moses, and that He is the prophet of this people, tell them to remain steadfast.Khadijah home, he saw Muhammad still asleep. She looked at her husband with a sense of love and full of sincere, mingled hope and fear. In such sleep it, suddenly he was shivering, his breath heaving with sweat already running down her face.

Do not you give, because it wants to receive more. And, by thy Lord, tabahkan heart." (QS. Al Mudassir: 1-7)Khadijah tried to reassure her, she quickly told him what he had heard from Waraqah earlier. Passionately and vigorously once then he declared himself a believer on his prophetic it.One day Muhammad went thawaf to the temple, he was met with Waraqa bin Naufal.
