dc.description.abstractMuhammad sat shivering as he told his wife about the revelation he had received. It was his habit to retreat to the Cave of Hira where he would meditate for days. It was on one of such meditations that the angel Gabriel came to him with Divine Revelation. This was the beginning of many more revelations which would make up the Holy Quran in its entirety. This was the birth of Islam, a religion, a way of life. After years of rejection and persecution in Mecca, God instructed Muhammed (PBUH) and his followers to migrate to Medina. It was in Medina that it was decided to build a place of prayer, and so began the "architecture" of the world's first mosque.en_ZA
