In this profound episode of Faith Found: A Journey in Islam, we embark on a journey to one of the most sacred and transformative moments in human history—the first revelation of the Qur’an. As the blessed month of Ramadan unfolds, we reflect on the night when divine light pierced the darkness, forever altering the course of humanity. Dr. Susan Rashid takes us back to the solitude of Cave Hira, where Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge in contemplation, longing for truth amidst the moral decay of society. It is here, in the stillness of the night, that Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) descends with a divine command from Allah—*Iqra!* Read! Overcome with awe and trembling from this celestial encounter, the Prophet rushes home to the comforting embrace of his devoted wife, Khadijah (RA), whose unwavering support becomes a beacon of reassurance. As we honor the sacred connection between Ramadan and the Qur’an, this episode explores the significance of the first revelation, the power of knowledge in Islam, and the spiritual legacy that continues to guide us today. Through recitations, reflections, and timeless wisdom, we are reminded that the Qur’an was revealed as a mercy to all, a source of light for our hearts, and a divine compass for our souls. Join us as we step into this momentous chapter of faith, uncovering its impact and embracing its message—one that continues to illuminate our path in the sacred month of Ramadan and beyond.
