The last Prophet of Islam was busy in his usual meditation in the Cave of Hira when the Arch Angel Hazrat Jibri (AS) appeared and asked him to read. He answered that he was not literate. Thrice he said so and thrice Hazrat Jibril (AS) embraced him Then Hazrat Jibri (AS) revealed to him the First verses of the Holy Qur'an : Translation: "Read, Read in the name of thy Lord (Rabb) who created Man from a clot of congealed blood…"

Hazrat Muhammad SAW met with Hazrat Gabriel (Jibraiel) in the Cave of Hira.
Gabriel is the messenger of God, usually of revelational information.
The Cave of Hira is located on a mountain named Jabal al-Nour (Mountain of Light) approximately 2.5 miles from the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the cave where Prophet Muhammad received the first revelations of the Quran from the Angel Gabriel.
The night when Muhammad received his first revelation is known as the Night of Ordainment. This happened when Muhammad (peace be upon him) was in the cave of Hira.
Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) used to spend most of his time in cave Hira in meditation when he grew forty. Almighty Allah sent Hazrat Jibraiel. Thus he was called by God (Allah) at the age of forty in the Cave of Hira, situated a few miles away from Mecca.
