The Prophetic Mission (Ba'athat-e-Nabwi)
The Prophetic Mission (Ba'athat-e-Nabwi) refers to the moment when Allah appointed Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as His Messenger and granted him prophethood to guide humanity. This significant event took place in the year 610 CE in the Cave of Hira, located on Mount Nur near Makkah.
Background of the Prophetic Mission
Before the advent of Islam, Arabian society was engulfed in ignorance (Jahiliyyah), idolatry, moral decline, and social injustices. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was deeply disturbed by the corruption and misguidance around him. He would often retreat to the Cave of Hira to meditate, reflect, and seek divine guidance.
The Beginning of Revelation
At the age of 40, while he was in the Cave of Hira, Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) appeared to him with Allah’s first revelation:
"اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ"
"Read in the name of your Lord who created." (Surah Al-Alaq: 1)
This marked the beginning of divine revelation (Wahi). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was deeply moved and rushed home in fear, where his wife, Khadijah (RA), comforted him. She took him to her cousin, Waraqa bin Nawfal, a learned Christian scholar, who confirmed that Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed the Prophet of Allah, just like the previous prophets.
Responsibilities After the Prophetic Mission
After receiving prophethood, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) started spreading the message of Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), good morals, and righteousness.
For the first three years, he preached secretly, inviting close friends and family to Islam.
Later, upon Allah’s command, he openly started calling people to the truth.
He faced severe opposition from the Quraysh tribe, but with patience, wisdom, and unwavering faith, Islam gradually spread.
Significance of the Prophetic Mission
The Prophetic Mission of Muhammad (PBUH) was a turning point in human history. It brought the complete and final message of Islam, which remains a source of guidance, mercy, and salvation for all of humanity until the Day of Judgment.
