First revelation came to Prophet at:

**The reasoning** The first revelation to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) occurred in the **Cave of Hira** (also spelled Hira or Hirah), located on Mount Nur near Makkah. The Prophet used to retreat to this cave for meditation and reflection. It was here, during the month of Ramadan in 610 CE (when he was 40 years old), that Angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared to him with the first verses of the Qur'an: "*Iqra*" (Read/Recite) — the beginning of Surah Al-Alaq (96:1-5). This marks the start of his prophethood. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Sinai** is where Prophet Musa (Moses) received the Torah — you might mix up prophets and their revelation sites. - **Ka'aba** is Islam's holiest site, but revelation didn't start there; it's a place of worship rebuilt by Prophet Ibrahim. - **Medina** is where the Prophet migrated *after* prophethood began — that's the Hijrah, which came 13 years later. **Quick takeaway** Remember: **Hira for the *first* revelation; Medina for *migration*** — connect "Hira" with "beginning" and you'll never confuse them again!
