the Quran occurred in two phases, with the first phase being the
revelation in its entirety on Laylat al-Qadr to the angel
Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic) in the lowest heaven, and then the
subsequent verse-by-verse revelation to Muhammad by Gabriel,
across 23 years. The revelation started in 610 CE at the Hira
cave on Mount Nur in Mecca. The first Surah that was revealed
was Surah Al-Alaq (in Arabic )
