This cave is the cave “reading”, the first verse that came down from heaven in the heart of the Messenger of God Muhammad - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - through King Gabriel - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.

All of God’s messengers, may God’s prayers be upon them, always thought, worshiped, and distanced themselves from their people, who spread among them the manifestations of evasion of God, immorality, immorality, and ugly deeds that were dispensed with breakfast before they were rejected by the laws that came to them later. For this reason, all the apostles rejected what was common and common among their people even before they knew the truth about Almighty God and the fact that He was the Creator of the universe and the earth and the Creator of matter. When the king responsible for revelation came to these prophets, they were psychologically and mentally prepared to bear the burden of invoking God Almighty in good faith and spreading the religion and teachings of Almighty God on earth
