cave of Hira where he would pray in
peace. The cave was in a mountain
called Jabal Noor just outside the
city. Here he would spend time
thinking deeply, praying to Allah to
guide him and to help him solve the
many puzzling questions which
were troubling his mind.

It was the Prophet's habit to spend
the month of Ramadan there, pray-
ing and fasting.

One starry night, in the month of
Ramadan, after a long period of
fasting and prayer, Muhammad,
who was now forty years old, had a
strange experience. He was sitting
in the cave of Hira that night, deep
in prayer when, suddenly, the dark
cave was flooded with a brilliant
light. Muhammad jumped up, star-
tled. He could hear a sweet, melodi-
ous voice urging him to read.
“Read!” the voice said.
