When Revelation Came

The Beginning of Revelation and the Secret Call in Makkah According to the Qur’an and Authentic Hadith

🌿 Reflection This religion began with one command: “Read!” An Ummah whose first revelation was about reading and the pen ought to be the Ummah that most loves knowledge — knowledge that begins in the name of the Lord. “Who taught by the pen.” (Al-‘Alaq 96:4)
