At the age of forty, Jibril (a.s.) descended to reveal to him the seal of messages beginning with the first divine verses:

Read in the name of your Lord Who created. He created man from a clot. Read and your Lord is Most Honourable, Who taught (to write) with the pen, Taught man what he knew not...

Holy Qur'an (96:1-5)

It was so great, so majestic and so glorious an experience to receive the revelation, that he felt a little tired, and so he lay down on his bed to have some rest. During these critical moments Jibril appeared to him for the second time:

O you who are clothed! Arise and warn, And your Lord garments do purify, And uncleanness do shun,...

Holy Qur'an (73:1-5)

Thus, Allah ordered His Prophet to carry His message to all people.
