It is one of the wisdom of the divine plan that Mustafa (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was prepared – before his mission – to receive the great news from a powerful king.
Before the mission, Allah loved him to be alone and cut off from the noise of the world and the falsehoods of the people.
And he followed a heart cleansed by angels, and he led him to an isolated grotto by the top of a towering mountain!….
He would not leave until he reached the top-carrying enough ZAD and water for the same number of nights – and then descend a little to enter a narrow passage between the rocks!
The corridor opens to a heavenly expanse, where a shaded terrace, and flat rocks fell on each other towards the Qibla, leaving a gap that can accommodate a man they call “Hira’s Laurel”.
Prepare a place for solitude! It has a space for reflection, a terrace for sleeping, and a mihrab for recitation(1) !!
He was turning his eyes to the signs of oneness, and he was saving a lord who knew and loved him by his instinct, he did not know what faith was, and he did not hope that a book would be thrown to him.
In that Laurel, and on the greatest night the world has ever witnessed, suddenly Jibril (peace be upon him), wrapped him up until he reached the effort, and then sent him and said: Read!
He replied breathlessly: what a reader I am ! He joined him twice, and on the third he recited to him: (read in the name of your Lord who created…) The first words of a wise male.
He descended on the rugged rocks, he did not turn off the house as usual, but panicked to his house, his jaws trembled :
Take me, take me, take me! I was afraid for myself!
His wife said with certainty: “no, God never shames you, God never shames you! “… So how can he be ashamed of a lawyer who forgave until she reached perfection
And she went with him to the leaf of Ben Nofal and preached to him: “the greater law has come to you(2), which Moses came, and your people will bring you out!”
Here the white thread was revealed from the black thread, as the dawn of Islam dawned from the laurel of light.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not return there afterwards, so does the Laurel yearn for him as the trunk yearned and the stone was handed over and someone shook!
