The story of Muhammad

‘Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not.’ 96:1-5

Khadijah believed all that Muhammad had told her. She went and told her cousin Waraqa, who was a wise and clever Christian. Waraqa warned Khadijah that while Muhammad would have a great message for the world, he had to be patient because not many people would listen to him.

The Angel Jibril often came to Muhammad after that day, to teach Muhammad Allah’s message for the world. It took 23 years for the angel to give Muhammad the whole message.

Later, Muhammad shared the message to some of his followers, including Abu Bakr, who supported him. Abu Bakr was Muhammad’s beloved and best friend. It was Abu Bakr and other companions of Muhammad who later helped write the message of Allah down in Arabic in the order that Allah wanted.
