In this article you will learn exactly through actual revelations from God. How Muhammad receive his revelations?
When did he receive the Quran that millions of people adore around the world? Many hadiths claim that the Prophet
Muhammad was in a cave and Gabriel came to him and squeezed him asking him to read. Muhammad elegantly
replying I cant read. This has been the traditional belief for hundreds of years, but the Quran never backs this story.
How was Gods revelation given to Muhammad?

Gods revelations meaning the Quran was given to Muhammad at night during the last hours of it.Surely We
revealed it on the Night of Majesty. (97:1) Gabriel did not reveal it to Muhammad in a dark cave at night. He came to
Muhammad while he was looking out at the nights sky. This happen during Ramadan at night while Muhammad was
looking out at the horizon. He saw something in the distance.
Quran 81:19-25 Verily this is the word of a most honorable Messenger, Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord
of the Throne, With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
This verse makes clear that he saw Gabriel the Messenger in the clear horizon. It never said Muhammad saw him in
a cave nor would Muhammad be able to see him from the cave of Hira. Here is another verse stating the distance
between Muhammad and the angel during the night of power.
Quran 53:4-12 It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired, Which one of mighty powers hath taught him, One
vigorous; and he grew clear to view. When he was on the uppermost horizon. Then he drew nigh and came
down Till he was (distant) two bows length or even nearer, And He revealed unto His slave that which He
revealed. The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth?

He first saw Gabriel in the upper horizon. Gabriel came down closer and closer about two bows length. The story in
the Quran says that Gabriel had some distance from Muhammad. One bow length is about 28 inches two would be
around 60 inches or 5 feet. Gabriel was about 5 feet away from Muhammad when he inspired him with the Quran.
This proves that Gabriel neither touched nor did he squeeze Muhammad. He was not that close to Muhammad to
squeeze him also the cave he was supposedly in did not have a view of the horizon especially at night. Below is the
cave of Hira it is not mention anywhere in the Quran. This cave is 12 feet long and 5 feet 3 inches wide that is a very
tight area. It has a very small opening again it would be impossible for one to see the upper horizon from this small
cave. Muhammad never dwelt in this cave to receive revelation. That is not a Quranic teaching it is a hadith teaching

which is false.
written 200 years after his death by the hypocrites.

Here is the false cave story about Muhammad

The angel came to him and asked him to read. The prophet added: I do not know how to read. The angel caught me
(forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me
to read and I replied: I do not know how to read. Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till
I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied: I do not know
how to read (or what shall I read)? Then he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me
and said: Read in the name of your Lord, who has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most
Generous (96:1,2,3). Then Allahs Apostle returned back with his heart trembling. He came to Khadija . . . and
said: Cover me! Cover me! They covered him till his fear was over.[21
This hadith states that Muhammad was running away from Gabriel and he had to catch him. He had to catch him
multiple times even pressing him with pain. Scholars say that this was the first time Muhammad encountered Gabriel
but this is not true. The story above make it seem like Gabriel was making mistakes trying again and again. The
angel came to Muhammad from the horizon and came near to him then stopped around 5 feet and gave him
inspiration. He did not have to touch him. He came to him a second time as well. They teach that Muhammad was
carried from Mecca, Saudi Arabia to Jerusalem. This is not true as well. Muhammad was taken to the heavenly place
of prostrate. He was taken to see a lote-tree near the Garden of Paradise. He saw a lote-tree enshroud near the
garden. There is where he saw angel Gabriel again. It doesnt say that he was given any scriptures there but he did
see a revelation.
Quran 53:13-18 And verily he saw him yet another time. By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary, Nigh unto which is
the Garden of Abode. When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree, The eye turned not aside nor yet was
overbold. Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.
How was Gods revelation given to Muhammad?
The revelations was given to Muhammad through inspiration to his heart. This is done through the spirit entering his
body like the prophets of old. The book was taught to him by way of inspiration. One can not give a physical book to
someones heart thus this was a act of spiritual possession not by a evil spirit but by a mighty spirit from God. Gabriel
is speaking in the Quran to Muhammads heart. The Quran did not come down in one night ready to read but the
inspiration was given in that night. The spirit and mental stimulation was given in that night.
And surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. The faithful spirit has brought it, on thy heart that thou
mayest be a warner. In plain Arabic language. (26:192195)
Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel for surely he revealed it to thy heart by Gods command. (2:97)
In conclusion, if any one ask you, where, and how did the prophet Muhammad receive his Revelation say? Say he
saw Gabriel above the horizon and he came near to Muhammad but did not touch him. Then he gave him the
revelations to his heart chakra. Thus, the impulses and angel would be inside the prophet from that point on. This is
what the scriptures says we only can accept what it actually says.This is the truth come to the Islamic House of Israel
and help us spread the truth before it is too late.
