Explanation:
The first revelation of the Holy Quran came to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in the Cave of Hira through Angel Jibreel (AS). The first revealed word was "Iqra" (اقرأ), meaning "Read" or "Recite." It appears in the opening verse of Surah Al-Alaq: "Iqra bismi rabbika alladhi khalaq" (“Read in the name of your Lord who created”). This marked the beginning of the Quranic revelation.
