Message From Allah
Muhammad meditated in a cave outside Mecca from time to time, and one afternoon he returned home from the cave tired and terrified, calling to Khadijah for help. Angel Gabriel had spoken to him with a message from Allah, he told her, but he didn't know what it meant. Khadija believed in Muhammad. She told him that it was fine and that the news was good, not frightening.
