According to the Islamic tradition,
it was in the year 610 A.D. that Prophet Muhammad, while meditating in Mount
Hira one night during the month of Ramadan, had a vision of the angel Jibril
(also known as Gabriel) appearing before him telling his name to Muhammad and
declaring to the latter that he was the messenger of God. Jibril said to him :
"Iqraa" (meaning "read" or "recite").
To this Muhammad replied that he
could not read.
Jibril embraced Muhammad and after
releasing him repeated: "Iqraa."
"I cannot read." Muhammad
answered again.
Jibril hugged Muhammad for a third
time and asked him to recite what he said. He told him:
"Recite in the name of your
Lord Who creates.
Creates man from a clot.
Recite: And your Lord is the Most Bountiful
Who teaches by the pen,
He teaches man what he does not know."
Creates man from a clot.
Recite: And your Lord is the Most Bountiful
Who teaches by the pen,
He teaches man what he does not know."
Though the angel informed him that
he was the messenger of Allah and was going to be a prophet for his people,
Muhammad was greatly disturbed at his meeting with Jibril. It is believed that
he at first considered the angel as an evil spirit. It was his wife Khadijah
who allayed his fears reminding him of his good conduct until then and that it
was impossible for him to be visited by a demon. Even her much learned old
cousin Waraqa ibn Nawfal convinced him that he was indeed a messenger of God
and the angel who visited Muhammad was the one who had also visited the Hebrew
prophet Moses.
Muhammad was of forty years of age
at this time.
In the following twenty-three years,
Muhammad was visited many times by Jibril who taught him the holy knowledge in
verses. This sacred knowledge consists of the code of conduct that Allah wants
his people to maintain on earth. It is inscribed in verses which are compiled
in the holy Qur'an, the most sacred book in Islam.
It is said that the sacred knowledge
was revealed to Muhammad during the month of Ramadan. As a mark of respect to
Allah and to show gratitude to him for the true knowledge that he gifted to his
sons and daughters, the prophet asked his followers (and therefore the
followers of Islam) to pass the month of Ramadan in fasting, prayers and other
austerities and end the month-long non-indulgence with festive celebrations.
This is how Eid-Ul-Fitr was born. This three-day long celebration ends the
ninth month and begins the tenth month of Shawwal with absolute happiness and
contentment for the ability to sacrifice for Allah. The aim of this festival is
to promote peace, strengthen the feeling of brotherhood and bring oneself back
to the normal course of life after a month-long period of self-denial and
religious devotion.
