This paragraph details the significant event of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) receiving his first revelation from Angel Gabriel in the Cave of Hira, marking his appointment as a prophet. The speaker narrates how Muhammad, frightened by the encounter, was comforted by his wife, Khadijah, who then consulted her cousin Waraka, an expert in the scriptures.
