Qur’an
Allah has declared:
“And thus have We,
by Our command,
sent inspiration to
you(O Muhmammad)
: You did not know
(before) what was
Revelation, and what
was Faith; but We
have made the
(Qur'an) a Light,
wherewith We guide
such of Our servants
as We will; and verily
you do guide (men)
to the Straight Way.”
Hadith
Our beloved Prophet
Muhammad said:
“...I heard a voice
from heaven and I
raised up my eyes,
and lo! the Angel that
had appeared to me
in Hirā' was sitting on
a throne between
heaven and earth
and I was struck with
awe on account of
him and returned
(home) and said,
Wrap me up, wrap
me up.”
