The Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) through the angel Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S.) in the month of Ramzan. This event took place in the cave of Hira near Makkah. The revelation began with the first verses of Surah Al-Alaq (96:1-5), commanding the Prophet to “Read in the name of your Lord who created.”

The month of Ramzan is therefore considered highly sacred, as it marks the commencement of the final divine guidance for mankind. The first revelation was a turning point in human history, establishing Islam as a complete way of life and providing guidance on morality, worship, and social conduct.
