The Holy Prophet (SAW) used to retire to the cave of Hira to meditate. Once he heard a voice say, "Read." The voice was of Hazrat Jibrael (R). He replied that he did not know how to read. The voice again said to read. He replied "I cannot read". Then he hugged the Prophet (SAW) and told him to read. He said, "What can I read?" The voice said:

"Read in the name of your Lord Who creates,

Creates man from cloth

Read: And your Lord is Most Bounteous

Who teaches by the pen.

Teaches man that which he knew not."

The angel then told him he had been appointed the messenger of Allah.
