The first surah that was revealed was Surah 'Alaq. Initially first five verses were revealed followed by a hiatus. These verses were revealed in cave of Hira. Angel Jibraeel (Gabriel) came to Prophet in form of human said, "Iqra" meaning "read". Prophet said, "I can't read." Angel Gabriel said again, "Iqra.". Prophet replied the same. After three attempts, Gabriel squeezed Prophet and recited the first five verses.
