This story is all about the history of the best word to read, understand and act on.
It was the 27th Rajab a long long time ago when Rasullulah was 40 years old. He spent lots of time meditating and praying in a cave not far from the Kaaba.
This cave is called Cave Hira.
Rasullulah gets up and sits in silence.
He would think deeply about Allah and meditate.
Rasulullah is deep in thought in the cave.

actor 6 to come on with books on back as donkey
Last week my mum was telling me to think of a donkey with sooo many books on his back. Having the books on his back does not make the donkey know what’s in the books. It’s only until you read and understand and act on it that those books are alive. Allah reminds us every Friday in Surah Jumaah not to just read, not to just read and understand but to read, understand and act!
Donkey comes on with books on back and heehawww.
